Neil Diamond Tribute

Neil Diamond Tribute

 

Eric Diamond Productions – Tribute Artist, Neil Diamond, Singer

History

Eric “Diamond” has been performing as Neil Diamond for the last 20 years and has been Wisconsin’s Favorite Neil Diamond Tribute Artist since 2009.  He has been told on countless occasions that he “sounds more like Neil than Neil Diamond does”.  Primarily focusing his solo shows around his home base of southeastern Wisconsin, for the last thirteen years Eric has toured the casinos, theaters and festivals of the Midwest as a headliner with the Ultimate Legends show.

In the beginning, Eric worked with several other entertainers and Tribute Artists as part of a duo (most notably Forever in Blue Suede, Diamonds & Martinis and Diamonds & Dreams) to provide an energetic evening filled with variety, good music and great times.  

The Last Several Years

Eventually going solo and taking his one-man “Neil & Nostalgia” show on the road, Eric has been wowing crowds not only with his spot-on vocal performance of Neil Diamond’s biggest hits, but also with his tributes to artists like Johnny Cash, John Cougar Mellencamp and the nostalgic “one-hit wonders” of the 60s and 70s.

Over the last several years, Eric has been showcased on WITI Fox 6’s Wake Up and Real Milwaukee shows, as well as CBS 58 Sunday Morning’s “Diamond in the Rough”   feature story.  

Recently, Eric returned home from a small tour of the American Legion Posts of Central Kentucky, and has performed for sold out crowds at historic Wisconsin Theaters such as Wausau’s Grand TheaterManitowoc’s Civic CenterRacine’s Memorial Hall and Sentry Theater in Stevens Point.

Where He Can Be Found

One of the hardest-working entertainers, singers and Tribute Artists around, Eric is performing several shows every week, whether it be breaking into restaurants and resorts in Illinois, in Wisconsin at a bar, club, Lodge, Legion Post or restaurant on the weekend with his solo “Neil & Nostalgia Show”, a festival or casino somewhere in the Midwest with the Ultimate Legends Band, or during the week at a private event or retirement community.   

He is always a favorite at Summerfest, Milwaukee County Zoo a la Carte and the Wisconsin State Fair.  Check the Schedule page to find out more.

With a Following of Thousands…

…Eric Diamond’s interactive, high-energy style, humble nature and song selection are what keep people coming back.  And as Eric himself says:

“Whether you’re 25 or 85 years of age, everyone knows and can sing along to at least one Neil Diamond song. I’ve seen this during countless performances of my Neil Tribute — whether I’m performing at a casino or festival with the Ultimate Legends Band, doing my solo show at a bar or restaurant or playing a courtyard picnic at a nursing home, there is continually and consistently an excellent response. And why is this? It is because, simply put, Neil Diamond is one of America’s greatest songwriters, of this or any generation. I know I sound like a quote from the movie Saving Silverman, but it’s the truth. He has sold millions upon millions of records by putting his words, music, heart and soul out there for everyone to hear. I am by no means a fanatic; I just know good music when I hear it. 

“It is an honor and a privilege to reproduce the passion of Mr. Diamond’s voice at every show, and to reintroduce people to the beauty and simplicity of his songwriting. And with a great mix of other great nostalgic sing-along songs from the 60s, 70s & 80s, I will ALWAYS deliver a show that will be remembered for weeks to come.”

Made up of two outstanding, veteran musicians from one of the top major markets in the USA and one from across the Pond as a graduate of The British and Irish Modern Music Institute, That Lil Ol Band from Chicago is dedicated to bringing you the finest tribute to that “Lil Ol Band From Texas”. From the spot on reproduction of the classic songs and costumes, to the perfectly choreographed show that includes the iconic spinning fuzzy guitars, no other tribute band is as dedicated. How dedicated you ask? Our bassist has been growing out his beard for the past 40 years!

Born of a rock and roll front man and a musical theater queen with a knack for harmonies, Jonathan was bound to be a musical child.

At about 2 years old, Jonathan was already entertaining his family with his singing. Even when singing a terribly out-of-order rendition of the ABCs, there was still passion and confidence behind the performance.

At around age 10, he took up drum lessons and began playing with a local band by the name of “Blackout,” which would later be known as “The Smoking Revolvers,” and even later as “Plume.” This gave him a taste of the live music scene where he felt at home, but there was always a burning desire to take the stage as a front man.

For some time, Jonathan’s singing was confined to campfires and small family gatherings, but at age 14, Jonathan took the stage for the very first time as The Man In Black – Johnny Cash. Alongside his father, who was performing as jumpsuit-era Elvis Presley, Jonathan threw on a cheap wig, grabbed a prop guitar and got up on stage and gave his very first “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.”

Though the first show went over remarkably well with the audience, there was plenty of room for improvement, and Jonathan didn’t waste any time taking up guitar lessons, growing out his hair, and studying film. 
 
Not before long, Jonathan had a well-polished Johnny Cash act and secured the lead in an established Johnny Cash/June Carter tribute band known as June’s Got the Cash. With the Cash tribute mastered, he would later move onto add to his repertoire a 50’s Elvis tribute. With only his 2nd Elvis competition, Jonathan was taking home trophies for Fan Favorite and 2nd place.

With success in the tribute world, Jonathan had a desire to begin doing his own thing. After his first break-up, Jonathan began writing, recording, and releasing his own music. With the absence of a band, he went on to record each individual part of his original tunes spanning 6 different instruments. Within a short while, Jonathan put together his dream 5-piece show band, Jonny Lyons & the Pride who have been entertaining folks all over the Midwest ever since!

Today, Jonathan travels all over North America captivating his audiences with a whole lot of stage presence and a touch from the past.

Sound System Upgrade. It’s fantastic!!

We have upgraded the sound system for our shows. We acquired a state of the art digital system to enhance the experience at the bandshell.

This is a unique opportunity for a sponsor(s) to  have the naming rights for the sound system for a period of time to be discussed. Each performance, each notice sent out, each program guide, and each social media posting will include the named sound system for the sponsor.

This is a projected $25K expenditure that will give us and the sponsor a long term benefit.

Please contact us directly when you are interested.
