In August of, '2000', Denny appeared on Dick Clark's, "Your Big Break". A program that showcased the talents of people who naturally sound like different singers. Denny was chosen to sing Neil Diamond's "America" because of his uncanny similarity to Neil Diamond's unique baritone voice. The episode was the most viewed and was also the most re-run episode of the series.
This eventually lead to a chance meeting with Sean Kelly. A talented musician who was traveling with the group Sixpence None The Richer. A group most known for their hits, "Kiss Me" and "There She Goes". With Sean's help they created a group that has been playing in Nashville since, '2001'. "Denny Diamond and The Longfellows" has become a well known, long running act, performing a tribute to the music of Neil Diamond. They perform regularly in Nashville and are often headlining Festivals and Coprorate events.
Denny can also be seen performing with his two son's Lucas and Spenser. Together they are known as "Denny Diamond and The Family Jewels". They have delighted audiences across the nation performing their fun and energetic tribute to one of America's favorite singer/songwriters, Neil Diamond. Mix in songs made famous by artists like Johnny Cash, Roger Miller and various other entertainers to round out an evening of great music. They have proven to be a great addition to any Festival or Corporate Event.
I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
