Neil Diamond Tribute comes to Amana

Old Creamery - The award winning Neil Diamond Tribute, from Branson, MO will play at the Old Creamery Theater in Amana, IA on Wednesday December 23rd. This 70 minute nonstop show tells the story of Neil’s life through his own songs. Starring look and sound alike Keith Allynn, known to his fans as “The Diamond Image.” Keith, who won Branson’s Show Awards, Tribute Artist of the Year 2009, sings favorites like Cherry Cherry, Sweet Caroline, Play Me, Brother Love and America, to name a few.

Keith Allynn began his career at the age of 14 in stand-up comedy, opening for such names as Chris Rock, Tim Allen and Robin Williams. At age 21 he discovered his musical talent performing as “Elvis”. Then trying to impress a girl who was a huge Neil Diamond fan, Keith sang in his best Neil voice, Diamond’s “Hello Again”. Soon that became “their” song, she (Diana Lynn) became his wife and Keith became, “The Diamond Image”.

Diana Lynn, formerly of Atkins, IA, joins Keith to perform the duet Neil Diamond did with Barbara Streisand called “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.” Diana and Keith are known for their duets in Branson as they also perform a show called “DUET”, featuring famous duets from the past to the present, like Jim Reeves/Patsy Cline, Donny/Marie, Sonny/Cher, Olivia Newton-John/John Travolta and more.

To top it all off, the World’s Youngest Elvis, 4-year-old Bobby Darin, will open for the show. Bobby, son of Keith and Diana, has been opening for Daddy’s shows since he was just 20 months old.
