The music of Roy Orbison will be celebrated in early October at the 琉璃神社 Community Theatre as a Roy Orbison tribute act is coming to 琉璃神社.
The Lonely: Celebrating the music of Roy Orbison will take the state at the KCCe on Monday, October 3.
The Lonely "delivers a sensitive and dynamic tribute to the one and only Roy Orbison" with veteran musician Mike Demers leading this group of musical journeymen in their mutual and deep appreciation of the timeless music of the Caruso of Rock.
The group approaches the music with a humble spirit and sincere desire to recreate the sounds and feel of the original recordings and audiences have reacted well as the band has been selling out shows right from their debut.
Tina Coldwell of TLC Entertainment called it 鈥淥ne of the best tributes I鈥檝e seen and I鈥檝e been in the biz for 22 years.鈥
Orbison was unmistakable with his trademark sunglasses, his distinctive, powerful voice, his complex compositions and the dark emotional ballads we all love. From 1960 to 鈥64 Orbison landed 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40, including 鈥淥nly The Lonely鈥, 鈥淐rying鈥, and 鈥淥h, Pretty Woman鈥. His impassioned voice, bridging the gap between baritone and tenor, coupled with his signature arrangements ensured the charting of the hits 鈥淒ream Baby鈥, 鈥淥oby Dooby鈥, 鈥淏lue Angel鈥, 鈥淏lue Bayou鈥, 鈥淵ou Got It鈥 and 鈥淚n Dreams."
Tragically, his life was cut short, leaving his musical legacy that has stood the test of time.
