The music of Roy Orbison will be celebrated in early October at the Âé¶čAV Community Theatre as a Roy Orbison tribute act is coming to Âé¶čAV.
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 âOne of the best tributes Iâve seen and Iâve been in the biz for 22 years.â
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 â64 Orbison landed 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40, including âOnly The Lonelyâ, âCryingâ, and âOh, Pretty Womanâ. His impassioned voice, bridging the gap between baritone and tenor, coupled with his signature arrangements ensured the charting of the hits âDream Babyâ, âOoby Doobyâ, âBlue Angelâ, âBlue Bayouâ, âYou Got Itâ and âIn Dreams."
Tragically, his life was cut short, leaving his musical legacy that has stood the test of time.
