The Californer/10328596

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Beloved Neil Diamond tribute ensemble NEIL FOREVER will bring their passion, precision, and powerhouse 14-piece lineup to stages across the nation in 2026 with their LOVE AT THE GREEK tour, honoring one of the most iconic live albums ever recorded. The tour will culminate on April 25, 2026 at Los Angeles' legendary Greek Theatre – the very venue where Neil Diamond's landmark 1976 Love at the Greek concert was captured – in a special benefit performance supporting Drive Toward a Cure, a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit dedicated to Parkinson's disease research and patient care.

For NEIL FOREVER founder and lead vocalist David Jacobson, the cause is deeply personal: his father passed away from Parkinson's disease, inspiring Jacobson to dedicate his time, energy, and resources toward finding a cure. The mission also resonates with Neil Diamond's own story – the music legend was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018, a revelation that raised global awareness of the disease and helped normalize the conversation around it. That journey is now part of the hit Broadway musical A Beautiful Noise, which chronicles Diamond's life and career.

"Performing these songs that mean so much to so many, while raising money and awareness for Parkinson's, makes every note that much more meaningful," says Jacobson. "This is more than a tour – it's a mission of love, music, and hope."

Since their debut in January 2023, NEIL FOREVER has captured the hearts of audiences nationwide with performances so authentic and full of heart that fans often say they feel transported back to the magic of a Neil Diamond concert. With a lineup including David Jacobson (lead vocals/guitar), John Cardoso (drums), Dylan Jacobson (guitar/keyboard/music director), Anthony Raffa (keyboard), Ted Wyman (bass), Glen Gabberty (electric guitar), Eric Ziegelmeier (percussion), Jeanna Campo (lead vocals), Kayla Manzella (vocals), Chris Scarnato (baritone sax/horn section director), Glenn Gifford (trumpet), Andrew Pereira (tenor sax), and David Joseph (trombone), the group delivers timeless hits like Sweet Caroline, Forever in Blue Jeans, America, Love on the Rocks, and many more with the energy, spirit, and artistry that made Neil Diamond a legend.

The LOVE AT THE GREEK tour and LA show pays homage to Diamond's unforgettable 1976 Greek Theatre performance – a concert immortalized in both a double live album and Emmy-nominated NBC television special. For NEIL FOREVER, recreating the magic of that moment is both a celebration of music history and a heartfelt tribute to the enduring emotional connection between artist and audience.
