“A Night of Neil” featuring Scott Samuels and Solitary Diamonds is a Neil Diamond Tribute show that faithfully recreates the sounds and recalls the story of many of Neil’s most important hits, spanning the history and important milestones of his long songwriting career from Tin Pan Alley days to more recent chart successes.
Along the way, the show also includes music by a few of Neil’s contemporaries from the ‘60s and ‘70s, including The Monkees, Barbara Streisand, Burt Bacharach, Petula Clark, and Nancy Sinatra.
As a veteran singer, songwriter and performer, Samuels has performed his own music for audiences all over the country. In 2017, a musician colleague first remarked on Samuels’ uncanny vocal similarity to Neil Diamond. Since then, Samuels and his band have delighted audiences with their recreation of a Diamond concert, including their recent featured outdoor performance at La Mesa’s Oktoberfest, and a 2019 sold-out performance at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista.
