Nearly Neil & The Solitary Band originally formed in 1997 and has toured across the US and Canada, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Cayman Islands, paying tribute to music icon, Neil Diamond. In addition to crafting all the Neil Diamond classics, the Solitary Band are the seasoned all-stars that make Nearly Neil and the Solitary Band "Much More than a Tribute to Neil Diamond". Either intermingled within the Nearly Neil show - they way they've been rocked Bobby Bruce captures the very essence of Neil Diamond, and most of all, replicates the contagious and infectious charisma that occurred between Diamond and his audiences.”
