MEET Eric Anthony

Hello All, My name is Eric Anthony Lombari and From the time I was a kid, the music of Neil Diamond has been part of my life. My father always had Neil Diamond playing — whether it was in the house, the car, or his truck — and those songs became the soundtrack to some of my greatest memories. That lifelong connection to the music inspired me to follow my own musical path and eventually led me to the incredible honor of portraying one of the greatest entertainers of all time. My journey in entertainment began in radio, starting at my high school radio station, 91.5 WCVY, before moving on to WWLI Lite 105. Music and live entertainment quickly became my passion, and in 1988 I launched my own DJ and karaoke company, performing at weddings, parties, live events, and venues throughout the region.

Guitar Master Bobby D.

Bob is a phenomenal & passionate guitarist. Whether it’s a solid acoustic ballad or a complex jazz standard, Bob lends his technical and artistic skills to every song. Originally from The Berkshires in Massachusetts, he has over 50 years of stage experience: from The East Coast to California to Portland, Oregon before eventually landing back in New England. Bob played at Blues Festivals, Portland Park Concerts, & showcase venues such at The Candlelight Room & The Lehrer with Ms Demeanor, Nobodysbizness, and TraceyFordice & The 8 Balls.

Before relocating to the East Coast, Bob performed numerous venues in Oregon wine country and downtown Portland with the popular duo: BobKat. He also played with various combos & has been influenced by musicians such as Tommy Emmanuel, Paul Simon, James Taylor, John Lennon and one of his favorite songwriters Neil Diamond. His love of a variety of music is obvious when on stage. He has the ability to ignite a musical spark that has audiences dancing in the streets & singing along. Bob also has a solo show for smaller, more intimate venues Bob is now focusing all of his energies as the guitarist and musical director with The Neil Diamond Experience: The Ultimate Neil Diamond Acoustic Tribute Show.

The Diamond Experience, How it Started.

After the tragic passing of my mother in 2013, music became more than just entertainment, it became healing. I started to perform as full-time drummer and began singing more often, discovering comfort, strength, and purpose through music. Soon after, I formed my first band with a close friend, a country rock group called Side of the Road, where I had the opportunity to learn from many talented musicians and further develop as a performer. Having spent many years working in the nightclub business, I developed a deep appreciation and love for live music and the energy that connects performers with audiences. Music has always been part of my family history, with generations of talented musicians before me, and I am proud to continue following in their footsteps. Today, I am honored and excited to bring the music, spirit, and passion of Neil Diamond to audiences everywhere. Performing these timeless songs is more than a tribute for me — it is a lifelong dream and a heartfelt celebration of the music that shaped my life
