ARTPOWER AT UC SAN DIEGO

Share

San Francisco’s Super Diamond is unquestionably one of the most popular live shows at major nightclubs, theaters, ballrooms, and public events throughout the United States. For over a decade the band has consistently performed sold-out shows at venues such as Irving Plaza in New York, 930 Club in Washington, D.C., The House of Blues in Chicago, Bimbo’s in San Francisco, The Belly Up in San Diego and Aspen, Ogden Theater in Denver, Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Showbox in Seattle, and other House of Blues venues in Los Angeles, San Diego, Cleveland, and Dallas, to name but a few.

Super Diamond front man, “The Surreal Neil” Randy Cordeiro, astonishes audiences with his live interpretation of the “real Neil.” Randy created the charismatic character when he discovered he had the ability to capture not only Neil Diamond’s voice, but also his mannerisms and performance style. Randy formed Super Diamond with founding members Matt Tidmarsh (bass), Rama Kolesnikow (keyboards), and his childhood friend James Terris (keyboards), and soon after attracted the stellar talents of guitarist Erik Schramm and drummer Vince Littleton.

Super Diamond delivers a glittering, smoke-filled show performing Neil’s power ballads and up-tempo hits with unrestrained enthusiasm. Incorporated into Super Diamond’s “Alternative Neil Diamond Experience” show are the band’s own unique arrangements, mash-ups, and references to classic rock songs. The show is pure entertainment—classic music combined with fun, energy, and passion—creating nostalgia for the good old days and excitement for today’s generation.
