Neil Diamond may have stepped off the stage in 2018, but his music continues to shine brighter than ever thanks to the passion and talent of Rob Garrett, known nationwide as the King of Diamonds.
From the heartfelt ballads to the rousing anthems, Garrett brings the full Neil Diamond experience to life in a show that’s been called “the best of the best” in tribute entertainment. A lifelong fan who saw Diamond live more than a dozen times, Garrett channels every note and nuance of the legendary performer. His uncanny resemblance in voice, look, and energy has earned him national acclaim and even a day in his honor from the Mayor of Las Vegas.
Garrett’s tribute is more than a show—it’s a celebration of a musical icon who gave us the soundtrack to our lives. Featuring timeless hits like:
• “Sweet Caroline”
• “America”
• “Love on the Rocks”
• “Cherry, Cherry”
• “Cracklin’ Rosie”
• and so many more!
This is a must-see for Diamond fans of all generations. Secure your seats today for this unforgettable tribute to a true music legend.
