BOBBY Bruce is far from being a Solitary Man – Bobby Bruce is not only an entertainer, he’s Nearly Neil.
For the past 18 years, Canadian singer Bobby Bruce has been wowing and amazing packed houses throughout America, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Asia with his passionate, exhilarating and vocally brilliant tribute to music legend, Neil Diamond.
Now, Australian fans of Neil Diamond are poised to snap up tickets to Bobby’s Nearly Neil, the show critics worldwide describe as “The real deal” and “The next best thing to the real Neil”.
The power and purity of Bobby’s voice puts him in a league of his own, as he glides his way through a powerful package of Diamond hits.
From Cracklin’ Rosie and Kentucky Woman to Cherry Cherry and Sweet Caroline. Holly Holy, Solitary Man and Song Sung Blue, Bobby doesn’t miss a beat, or a favourite song, throughout his feast of the world’s best loved music.
Performing alongside of Bobby is Ahleigh Toole. A finalist from Australian Idol who now presents the songs from the Barbara Streisand Songbook as only a truly amazing singer can do. Ashleigh has been performing with her family in the industry since she was six years of age.
Ashleigh Toole is a unique and rare young performer, Marcia Hines said: “I love your attitude, I just love that bullet proof 17-year-old. It’s fantastic. You’ve got one of the finest, strongest voices I have heard”.
