Award-winning singer Damien Leith brings the magic of Roy Orbison’s music to life in a special solo acoustic showcase. One voice, one guitar, and one incredible repertoire. In this intimate setting, Damien will perform Roy Orbison’s greatest hits — from “Oh, Pretty Woman” to “Crying” and “Only the Lonely” — allowing every lyric and melody to shine.
The show also celebrates the music of Orbison’s closest friends and the artists he inspired, including George Harrison, Bob Dylan, k.d. lang, and Linda Ronstadt. Fans can expect a setlist full of beloved classics from Roy’s circle and his time with the Traveling Wilburys.
In a very special feature, Damien will debut brand-new songs co-written with Roy’s legendary collaborator Joe Melson, writer of “Crying,” “Only the Lonely,” “Blue Bayou,” and more — marking the first time these songs will ever be performed live.
Damien’s connection to Orbison’s world runs deep, with his tribute album co-produced by Barbara Orbison and praise from Roy’s inner circle:
“Very few voices excite me, but I fell in love with Damien’s voice when I heard it. I believe Damien is going to be a big star.” — Joe Melson
“Damien, I applaud you for doing a ‘Roy’ album! Thank you! You got it!” — Barbara Orbison
Join Damien for an unforgettable journey through Roy Orbison’s timeless hits and the music of his legendary friends — raw, heartfelt, and truly intimate.
