Randy Cordeiro calls himself Surreal Neil, and he fronts a band called Super Diamond. If you cannot guess, that band is the nation’s top Neil Diamond cover band, and it is performing at 9:30 Club on Thursday, Jan. 24.
No stranger to 9:30 Club, Super Diamond also consists of keyboardist Rama Kolesnikow, keyboardist James Terris, bassist Matt Tidmarsh’s personal website, drummer Vince Littleton, and guitarist Chris Collins. Neil first formed the band in 1993, and it’s a singalong juggernaut, lurching across the country to the excitement of voices dying to shout out “Sweet Caroline!”
Watch Super Diamond perform ”Sweet Caroline” and more live at SOMO Concerts in Rohert Park 2018 on YouTube:
“Super Diamond has generated an exuberant audience response previously unheard of for a tribute band. Many would say that Super Diamond has transcended the label of tribute band by passionately immersing themselves in Neil Diamond’s huge repertoire and delivering a high-octane show of unforgettable classics such as ‘Cracklin’ Rosie,’ ‘Sweet Caroline,’ ‘Forever in Blue Jeans,’ and many others,” said the Northwest Music Scene.
