2. Solitary Man - The Music of Neil Diamond starring Rob Garrett & the K.O.D. Band

On January 22nd 2018, just 2 days short of his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond stunned the music world when he announced his retirement from live performances after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Diamond has said that he still plans to write and record but the iconic performer, who has become one of the biggest selling recording artists and concert draws in music history, has hung up his sparkly shirts and presumingly will never perform another live concert.
Diamond's live performing career being discontinued may have been disheartening news for his legions of followers which number in the multi millions - however, all may not be lost as there is a ray of light at the end of the tunnel and that “ray” happens to be a long time Las Vegas performer named Rob Garrett.

Aside from winning numerous awards over the years, Garrett has been critically acclaimed for his uncanny physical and vocal resemblance to a late 70’s/early 80’s era Neil Diamond and is arguably considered the world’s most requested, well-known, and respected Neil Diamond tribute artist - so much so that he is very often referred to as the “King of Diamonds”.

On Saturday, May 19th, Garrett will make his debut at Myron’s Jazz Cabaret in the Smith Center where he will perform 2 shows…6:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
The show will be called “Solitary Man – The Music of Neil Diamond” and a percentage of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to “Friends of Parkinson’s a local organization in Las Vegas who aid in researching and/or finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease.

Like his legendary counterpart, Rob Garrett was born in New York City but has resided in Las Vegas since 1974. He has been performing his tribute to Diamond since 1995 and stands atop a very saturated mountain of tribute artist’s in the Entertainment Capital of the World where he has become one of the city’s most popular, local, draws whether it be a tribute or non-tribute act. He continues to set the standard in the industry by performing his tribute the iconic singer/songwriter around the country in venues usually reserved for national/name acts.

Longtime Las Vegas columnist Norm Johnson wrote… “Of all the Tribute Artists running around Las Vegas (and elsewhere), there is none better than Garrett” and Mike Weatherford, former entertainment critic for the Las Vegas Review Journal, wrote “Garrett does look & sound astonishingly like Diamond”.
The “King of Diamonds” band features Billy Carmody (drums), LJ Harness (percussion), Steve Gerard and Jay Boyer (Keys/Synthesizer), Steve Henley (electric/acoustic guitar/vocals), Brett Cohen (bass/vocals), Ines Zak and Jessica Thompson (vocals).
