Hot
August Night!
A Tribute to
Neil Diamond
starring Dean Colley
Dean Colley was born and raised in the Los Angeles area and attended the University of Southern California as a pre-med student
in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, while working as an Emergency
Room Technician. However, Dean’s true passion was writing, singing and
performing. He sang and played guitar in a variety of rock & roll bands
for 20+ years. The Hot August Night! concept and the incentive to
move in a new direction, were the result of two catalysts. The first
was a litany of comments on Dean’s resemblance to Neil Diamond,
including a strong baritone voice and secondly, a piece of advice from a concert
promoter who had watched Dean develop as an artist for several years: "You should do a Neil Diamond tribute!"
After assembling an initial 30-plus song set of Diamond classics, Dean auditioned band members and then plunged headlong into rehearsals.
Hot August Night! introduced itself to the public in 1998,
during a self-produced concert at the Convention Center in Ontario
California. 500 people witnessed the first 2-hour show that Dean ever
performed, which was recorded and used as a promotional CD.
Hot August Night! A Tribute to Neil Diamond starring Dean Colley has
since performed in Las Vegas, Reno, and Laughlin Nevada, in Oregon and
throughout Southern California at fairs, clubs, casinos, concerts and fundraisers.
