Neil Diamond is a popular musician who has been in the music industry since the 1950s. He is considered a top artist in the adult contemporary genre, especially in America. His songs are played all around the world and covered by musicians from a variety of musical genres. Neil Diamond tribute bands are those that exclusively play his music.

Tribute acts are musical groups, musicians or singers who specifically perform the music of well-known musical artists. Sometimes they do this for artists who have disbanded, passed away or stopped touring. Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Iron Maiden are just some examples of popular artists who have these kinds of acts made in honor of them.

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.

Individuals may do this as a specific role, hobby or even a job. Some perform on streets, others at entertainment venues, such as casinos and bars. A select few have contracts with venues and are given regular pay for performances. In general, the people who decide to impersonate this famous singer-songwriter and his backing band have some musical talents. In addition to being able to sing or play instruments, they are also familiar with his entire catalog.

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.

A lot of effort and time go into studying behaviors, actions and work of this artist. The members then try best to imitate what they have observed. Bands of this kind exist all across the globe, even in regions where the musician is not regarded as a top artist.

Neil Diamond is an American singer-songwriter who has been around since the 1950s. He has had a successful career, which has led to Neil Diamond tribute bands in many countries of the world.
