Since his “2000” debut on Dick Clark’s show, “Your Big Break,” Denny has been traveling across the country performing his one-of-a-kind tribute to the music of Neil Diamond. He has a carefree, fun-loving attitude on stage, but what really sets him apart is his full-throated, robust baritone voice.
During COVID, like many other musicians, Denny started having fun streaming his performances online. Always up for a laugh, he began to refer to himself as “The World’s Okayest Vocalist” This new moniker caught on, and with it he’s adding all new performances in ‘2023’. One show will be called, “The World’s Okayest Vocalist Variety Hour”. This performance will cover songs made famous by legendary artists like Tom Jones, Barry Manilow, Elvis, and many others, including, of course, Neil Diamond. And also adding songs from beloved Broadway productions like “Carousel.” Visit www.DennyDiamond.com for a complete show schedule or to contact him.
