About the #1 Neil Diamond Tribute Performer
In 1995 Garrett was personally hired by Paul Revere (of ‘The Raiders”) to portray Neil Diamond in the biggest and most popular “impersonation” type show in the world, “Legends In Concert”. The venue was Honolulu, Hawaii, and the show is that city’ s largest and best theatrical show. What was to be a two-month “trial” engagement for Rob ended up being “indefinite”.
In August of 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform intermittently with “Legends” for another 2 years before deciding to go off on his own and create his own ‘Neil Diamond’ tribute show. Since then, he has kept up a steady tour around the country (andoccasionally the world), performing in more towns and cities than most tribute artists in the industry. He developed a large, loyal, following and is known worldwide as the ‘’King of Diamonds,’’ North America’s most popular and sought after Neil Diamond tribute act.
What makes him one of the best is his reverence for Diamond, Diamond’s music and how he believes Diamond should be treated.
“I call myself a ‘by the book’ artist,” he explained. “In other words, I rarely do anything on stage that he didn’t do or wouldn’t do. I never step out of character. Garrett’s plan is to keep doing what he’s doing, proving Diamond’s music is still relevant, and his legacy worth preserving.
BEST TRIBUTE SHOW 2025 LAS VEGAS:
Due to Nevada’s lax parody and tribute laws, innumerable tribute (previously “impersonator”) acts are ubiquitous in Las Vegas, which explains why Elvis has never actually left the building. And while Elvis – in his many shapes and sizes – is feted all over the city, Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds” show faithfully brings the legendary Neil Diamond’s music to life in an intimate showroom at the off-Strip Alexis Park All-Suite Resort. Garrett not only delivers an uncannily precise facsimile of the artist’s look and sound, he’s also Diamond’s biggest fan, enchanting the audience with a gusto for the factoids and fables that clearly demonstrate his reverence for the man, the artist, and the icon.
