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. The album which was 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.

Accompanied by a rocking five-piece band, Damien will take the stage to honour the talents of Roy Orbison. 'A songwriter extraordinaire' who changed the structure of songwriting forever.

“Roy said that at times he didn't like the 'Singer' Roy Orbison, as it often overshadowed the 'Song Writer' Roy Orbison, and he hoped that artists would get past his voice and get to the song, so that they could see a way to make his compositions their very own.” Barbara Orbison.

In Damien’s new album, ‘ROY – A Tribute To Roy Orbison’, he has done just that.

With soaring renditions of all Roy’s Orbison’s songs, this show is not to be missed. Not only will he sing the songs with the passion and emotion that audiences have come to expect from Damien, but he’ll also take you on a journey, sharing 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!

I don't know Braffy...I think perhaps we should keep our reputation as the worst singing crowd in the history of Damien tours!

BAHAHA!! I think your reputation *cough* might be safe, Carla! There didn't seem to be much in the way of organised "singalongs" happening at the Palms, so The Crown may well remain YOURS!

PPS. IF my schedule is clear, I might try to get to this one! ;D...and visit family at the same time.

[plugger]

Oh Princess I am so excited for you! Have a great time!

[princess1]

Thanks Plugger I'm sure I will, its going to be lovely catching up with Carla again

[CarlaM]

Cant wait to see you hun. I am sure you will look amazing. I dont even want to think about the clothing dilemma...I need to find something that I can manage to make look OKAY with a cast and sling...errr...dont like my chances...hehe.

[Glawz]

Carla, your beauty is on the inside as well as the outside and the sling won't matter.
Hope you, Sue and Trills have a fantastic time.

[plugger]

You said exactly what I was thinking Glawz! Have a great time girls and Carla.....beauty shines from inside to out! So if we put on the designer outfit and shoes and accessories........what shines thru comes from the inside.......you can look at someone made up to a million dollars....what kills it? When they open their mouths to say something that takes away immediately the inner glow, personality, or beauty about someone! Have a great time Carla and the 2 melbournites!

[KrisLovesDamien]

Ah! So jealous of my 2 Melb ladies, but in a good way of course

Have the best time tarts! I'll be there in spirit.
