Damien Leith celebrates the golden anniversary of Only The Lonely with a massive 2020 tour ROY – A Tribute To Roy Orbison with Strings
November 25, 2019
The year 2020 marks 50 years since the release of Only The Lonely, the classic Roy Orbison and Joe Melson hit song that still graces the airwaves today.
With a nod to this onerous Golden anniversary, singer-songwriter Damien Leith is once again paying homage to his musical hero ROY, with a select run of dates celebrating his impressive legacy.
ROY – A Tribute To Roy Orbison plus Strings will see Damien, arguably one of the finest voices in Australia, performing all his favourite classic hits arranged by celebrated composer Jessica Graham and accompanied by a sublime String Quartet in an unforgettable intimate setting.
For Damien Leith, Roy Orbison is still one of his biggest influences, and it shows in the care he takes when paying homage to the great man’s music on stage.
“Roy was a stylus, he created his own unique sound which made him stand out over so many other artists,” says Damien. “His incredible voice, mixed with dramatic pop/opera melodies became his signature. Working with Barbara on my album Roy – A Tribute To Roy Orbison was amazing.
It was incredible to have her support and confidence in me, especially in interpreting Roy’s songs and giving them my own stamp. Also, while recording that album I met with Joe Melson – who co-wrote Only The Lonely and Crying – and we have since become good friends and write together almost every week via Skype.”
