Roy – A Tribute to Roy Orbison in Melbourne, 15th July 2017

The tour commemorates 30 years since Roy Orbison was inducted into the Rock n Roll and Songwriters’ Hall of Fame.

Revered singer-songwriter Damien Leith will perform songs such as In Dreams, Crying to Running Scared, Oh Pretty Woman and Blue Angel, to name a few.

The show is jam-packed with as many Roy songs that can be fitted into the set list.

“This show is a favourite of mine because, I get to stand on stage and celebrate Roy’s incredible career,” says Damien. “I don’t try to impersonate him or sound like him, it’s really a case of me saluting one of the all-time greatest singers.

Roy’s songs are raw and real and melded together with that distinct melancholy intensity of his voice.

He created a unique way of writing and delivering a song, and it’s for that reason that to this day, he continues to find new fans all over the world.”

Damien has always had a strong affinity with Roy’s music. He recorded and worked with the late Barbara Orbison and continues to write with legendary musicians in Nashville who worked with Roy throughout his career.

Show Length: 120 minutes, with interval

Location: Drum Theatre, Cnr Lonsdale and Walker Street, Dandenong
