By Andrea Davidson


Neil Diamond is a well-known musician involved in the industry of music since the year 1958. He is recognized as a top artist, specifically in the adult contemporary genre in the United States of America. His music is played around the globe and artists from numerous genres have been known to cover his works. Neil Diamond tribute bands are groups of artists that play his music exclusively.

Tribute acts is the name given to musicians, singers or musical groups who perform the work of popular artists. In some cases, they do this for artists who have stopped touring, disbanded or passed away. Elvis Presley, Iron Maiden and Michael Jackson are among the most popular acts who have had these kinds of bands made in honor of their works.

The groups are not known to have original members from the band. When the lineup does feature an original member it is known as a spin-off band and not a tribute act. Still, these original members have made guest appearances with certain acts.

There are some notable differences between tributes and cover bands, as the latter just plays the music of others. Tribute acts are known to capture the entirety of the artist, including the appearance of the person. They try to best imitate the original work. In some situations, the dynamic is a little different in that the groups imitate the look of the artist but go a different route with the music. They opt to reinterpret the original works in a different genre or for the purpose of comedy. The acts usually name themselves based on album or song titles, or the band name.

People choose to form and play in these acts for different reasons. Some do it for a specific role, others as a hobby, and then there are a select group who did it as a job. These acts are known to perform on the streets, as well as in entertainment venues, such as bars and casinos. Some are given contracts to perform at certain venues and are paid for the performances. Generally, those who decide to be involves have some kind of musical talent. They can usually play instruments, sing and are well familiar with the work of Diamond.

Diamond has received numerous honors and awards throughout his career. His discography includes more than 30 studio albums. He has also recorder over 30 hit songs. Globally, he has sold over 70 million records. These stats are just some examples as to why many people choose to impersonate or cover his work.
