The Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center will celebrate a month of first-class music entertainment, starting with Cherry Cherry, a critically acclaimed Neil Diamond tribute band, on Friday, Nov. 5 at 8 PM.

Cherry Cherry has been hailed as the premier Neil Diamond tribute act, thanks to its authenticity and dedication to the sound of one of the best-selling artists of all time.

The band features veteran lead singer Steve Kelly, who has been performing since he was 13 years old and who more than 30 years of experience sharing the stage with such greats as Pat Benatar, Peter Frampton, Joan Jett, Rick Derringer, and more.

Unlike other tribute acts, Cherry Cherry does not attempt to impersonate Neil Diamond. Instead, it chooses to honor his songs and stage performances by personalizing each and every show for the audience. Playing such iconic hits as “Sweet Caroline,” “America,” “Yesterday’s Songs,” and “Heartlight,” the group has perfected the art of re-creation in its highest regard.

“Cherry Cherry, featuring Steve Kelly, is unlike any other Neil Diamond tribute show out there,” said April Evans, executive director of Uptown! “It exemplifies talent and professionalism with the perfect combination of Neil’s exquisite sound and the band’s pure love of the music. Audiences are in for a treat.”
