For one night only, Friday, Jan. 3, 2014 EZ-FM Radio, Athens Technical College, Deer Run Farm and All State Lake Oconee presents A Neil Diamond Tribute at Festival Hall in Greensboro.

Doors open at 7 p.m. followed by an 8 oíclock show.

A Neil Diamond Tribute stars eight time Branson show award winner and Diamond look and sound alike Keith Allynn.

Experience the feel of Neil as Allynn unveils the story of Diamondís life through his songs from the ’60s through today, while weaving through his own comedic career change from a top 10 Elvis in the world to Neil Diamond, all for the love of a woman. Branson’s only “live” romantic comedy.

Allynn began his career in stand-up comedy at the age of 14 opening for such greats as Chris Rock, Tim Allen and Robin Williams. At 21, he discovered his musical talents while performing “All Shook Up” at a karaoke night. The girls went wild, and Allynn was hooked. For several years he continued to perform as an Elvis tribute artist and was voted a top-ten Elvis by Graceland in 2004.

Later, trying to impress a girl who was a huge Neil Diamond fan, he called her on the phone and in his best “Neil” voice sang “Hello Again” from the Jazz Singer. It became their song, she became his wife and he became The Diamond Image.

Come see the story unfold live along with the story of Neil Diamond’s struggles and triumphs, enjoying hits like “Sweet Caroline,” “Song Sung Blue,” “Hello Again,” “Brother Love,” “America” and many more.

If you love romance, magical surprises, comedy and Neil Diamond music, you will love A Neil Diamond Tribute.
