Meet The Band

Where it began...

Robert was born and raised up from the very same “Brooklyn Roads” as Neil Diamond. Early on he gained recognition acting and singing portraying character type roles in various stage theater productions. Such as Grease, Oklahoma , Annie, Sing, The Music Man, Guys & Dolls, Bye Bye Birdie and he played Legendary Boxer “Ray Boom Boom Mancini” in a stage play called Throwdown. Growing up Robert always enjoyed listening to Neil' Diamond's music. Then the 1980 remake of "The Jazz Singer", Starring Neil Diamond came out and Robert was hooked on Neil to the extent he memorized the entire movie, which he would act out various scenes for family and friends upon request. 

In 1989, Robert relocated to Florida to continue education and to see what life might bring in a warmer climate. Although this move led Robert away form stage performing, it turned into a 30+ year career helping and protecting others.

In 2019, Robert mostly retired form the Investigation & VIP Protection Field. 

By 2020, during the covid outbreak, he was was inspired to begin recording a few Neil Diamond songs on a global singing app. The response to the recordings was electrifying along with the consistent praise of how naturally Robert's singing style was likened to that of Neil Diamond's.

So much so that interests grew into an opportunity to perform live with a talented Barbra Streisand Tribute Artist named Diane Lynn,.  Robert & Diane's performance was at The Palace Theater in Kings Point. The venue quickly sold out its regulated seating capacity for the event.  Due to the wonderful response, Robert began the process of putting together all the pieces of "Naturally Diamond"  The Ultimate Neil Diamond Tribute! 

With each performance, Naturally Diamond delivers a special show that has audiences Singing, Dancing, Feeling and Shouting So Good!, So Good! and We want more!

Steve is a very special multi talented instrument player, who started to play guitar at age 16 after going to his first concert (The Moody Blues). He started gigging professionally at 18 and eventually spent a couple of years touring the Midwest with Mystery, a Brit-Pop rock band.   Since moving to Florida, he has played over 900 gigs in a variety of genres (rock, classic rock, oldies, pop hits, funk, R & B, and yes, even disco and a bit of country). During each of our shows since joining Naturally Diamond, Steve utilizes all his talents to collaborate and help create unexpected moments that simply blow au audience away. Hence his rightfully well earned band nick name "The Sniper".
