They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but the songs of Neil Diamond are friendly to most everyone.
This Saturday evening the Drumheller Legion is hosting a night of Neil Diamond. Jason Scott is bringing Diamonds are Forever a Celebration of Neil Diamond for all to enjoy.
Scott is the creator and performance artist for the one-man show exploring Diamond’s music and stage persona. The show spans Diamond’s entire career.
“Neil Diamond has recorded his music so many times, and changed it so much, that interpreting that music can in itself be an art,” said Scott. “When you look at Neil Diamond’s history and career of six decades, you realize the music and the possibilities of that music are unlimited.”
Scott’s show has been lauded all over. In 2005, he was the first Canadian to win the “Be a Legend Celebrity Tribute Contest in Las Vegas. From there, he has won several international awards for his performances.
Diamonds are Forever a Celebration of Neil Diamond is more than just a concert. It features authentic costumes, background stories, studio recorded tracks, spot on vocal tracks and audience interaction. It is a hit for all audiences, whether you are a fan of Diamonds from the 1960s or the 1990s.
“This music bridges generations,” said Scott. “The show is structured but also spontaneous, loose and huge fun as the performance is very audience interactive, sometimes I find myself in the crowd and then other times I’ve found some of the audience on stage with me.”
Diamonds are Forever is being held Saturday, February 15. Tickets are available at the Legion.
