Neil Diamond presents: "Home Before Dark"
Folk Rocker Neil
Diamond announces plans for a "Solo Acoustic" North American and European
tour in support of his May release "Home before Dark"
Neil
Diamond is one of the most influential singer-songwriters of our time. His
music features a fusion of rock, pop, folk and country sounds and is seen as
the voice of a generation.
Diamond began his now illustrious career in the early 1960's, as a songwriter. Modern day classics such as I'm a Believer, A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You and Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow), were all written by a young Diamond and all became instant hits. I'm a Believer in particular, became the most popular song of 1966 and allowed Diamond to build a name for himself in the rock community as a songwriter.
After achieving success as a songwriter, Diamond's singing and performing career began to skyrocket as well. To date, Diamond has created over twenty-five albums and released a collection of hit singles. Diamond's biggest hits include Solitary Man, Cherry, Cherry, Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon, Red, Red Wine, I'm a Believer, You Don't Bring me Flowers, Will you Love me Tomorrow and perhaps his biggest hit Sweet Caroline.
By 1984, Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and in 2000,
was given the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition, Diamond's
hit Sweet Caroline has become a cult classic among sports fans, namely Major
League Baseball's Boston Red Sox, which dubbed it the official theme song for
"Red Sox Nation". Neil
Diamond classics, such as "Sweet Caroline" and "Solitary Man" have also
been covered and performed live over the years by a spectrum of legendary musicians,
ranging from Johnny Cash to Elvis Presley.
In early May 2008, Neil
Diamond released Home Before Dark. Home Before Dark is Diamond's twenty
ninth studio album and unlike many of his past releases, focuses on a more pure
representation of rock music. It combines mainly acoustic guitar melodies with
emotionally heavy lyrics and presents a familiar
Neil Diamond, in a new light. To celebrate the album's release, Diamond
has announced plans to kick off a massive concert tour. The "Neil Diamond Solo
Acoustic Tour" will feature the musician performing all of his greatest hits,
as well as selected tracks from the new album. The concert series will last
from late May to late September of 2008 and will hit various venues in Europe
and North America.
European Tour: May 24-June 26, 2008
United States Tour: July 19-August 29, 2008; September 22-October 30, 2008
Canadian Tour: September 14-September 20, 200
