To celebrate the release of Damien Leith’s acclaimed fifth studio album ‘ROY – A tribute to Roy Orbison’, Damien sets off on a National theatre tour. Recorded in Nashville, Los Angeles and Australia and was executively produced by Roy’s wife Barbara Orbison (features 14 classic Roy tracks including favourites like Crying, Pretty Woman and Only The Lonely).

Damien will share stories of his experiences in the creation of his wonderful new album and the honour to be celebrating Roy Orbison during the 75th anniversary year of one of rock n roll’s greatest contributors.

This show is not a Roy Orbison Concert. It is a salute to an amazing talent from one of his greatest admirers! Come join the celebrations! Mercy!
