This showcased event has concluded.
Solitary Man is a specially staged and produced Live Concert event which will see the talents of Hugh Sheridan given full voice in a programme of songs written by Music Legend Neil Diamond.
Hugh Sheridan's Solitary Man premieres at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall on Friday 21 Octoberwith Melbourne's Hamer Hall to follow on Friday 28 October. Tickets on sale 9am Monday 15 August.
Australia's two finest Concert Halls will host Hugh Sheridan in this live concert accompanied by a handpicked band featuring 19 of Australia's finest musicians.
Songs include the Hot August Night Classics Crunchy Granola Suite, Cracklin' Rosie, Sweet Caroline, Holy Holly, I am I said, _and _Song Sung Blue, _superbly balanced by Diamond's reflective love ballads and the lyrical beauty of songs like _Love on The Rocks, Play Me, and Canta Libre. The fabulous pure pop genius of 60's tunes I'm a believer, Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon, and Red Red Wine which have leapt generations will also be featured.
Neil Diamond has a singular place in the pantheon of popular music. His is the story of how an introspective kid from Brooklyn went from struggling songwriter to multiplatinum global superstar both as songwriter and entertainer.
Diamond is extraordinarily popular in Australia, estimated per capita, more than any other country in the world. His 1972 double concert album, Hot August Night, was a phenomenon here spending 224 weeks on the Australian charts and thought to be part of the musical collection of one in five Australian homes.
Only a handful of musicians have sold more records than Neil Diamond. He ranks with Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Madonna in terms of commercial sales success. While he started off as a pop songwriter in the Brill building penning hits for the Monkees and many others Diamond realised he had a knack for singing his own songs. Commencing with the live concert recording Hot August Night at the Greek Theatre LA he was in no time propelled to Popular Music Legend.
Hugh Sheridan is an exceptional talent who possesses a unique voice, radiates energy, charisma and a winning personality on stage. Hugh wanted to be a singer like his Father from a very early age. His Dad sang Jazz and swing in Adelaide. Hugh would watch Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra and recognised that he wanted to be an entertainer who could Sing, Dance and Act. His parents sent him to his first acting school at 5, and at 14 he went to the Australian Ballet school, then the Victorian College of the Arts to study music, singing Opera, and then to NIDA.
