David Brighton's tribute to
rock and roll's most electrifying superstar... the Legendary David
Bowie
David Brighton
is credited as being the world's best David
Bowie impersonator, with one of the most entertaining tribute acts ever to
hit the stage.
"David Brighton has the voice, moves and look
to actually step in for David Bowie if he were unavailable and few would
ever know. Experiencing David Brighton's Tribute to David Bowie
made for a truly remarkable evening…" says Harry Maslin, the Producer of
David Bowie's YOUNG AMERICANS and STATION TO
STATION Albums.

Brighton's
credits include performing side by side with David Bowie himself in the
TV commercials for Vittel Mineral
Water and for
Reality - Bowie's new CD.
The career spanning ads, in which
Brighton portrays many of Bowie's most
legendary personas, have been airing in the United States, Great Britain
and throughout Europe. Brighton also recently appeared as David
Bowie on VH-1 television as well as in international pop star Shakira's
new concert video...
Brighton has been performing live concerts and
making radio and television appearances worldwide as a celebrity
look-alike/sound-alike since 1994. He's performed on bills with some of the biggest acts the world
has known - including: Sir Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Devo, Kenny Loggins, Three Dog Night, Little Richard and
Barry Manilow. From the Superdome in New Orleans with bands like
Chicago and KC & the Sunshine Band, to
arenas, concert halls, theaters, casinos, cruises, festivals, fairs,
conventions, private functions and corporate events… touring extensively
throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, the
Bahamas, Barbados and Puerto Rico…

David has performed for
Arnold Schwarzenegger
and Maria Shriver…
Brooke Shields, Dustin Hoffman, Martina McBride, Sylvester Stallone, Jay
Leno, David Foster, Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas, Barbara
Streisand, Quincy Jones, Lisa Marie Presley and Nicholas Cage... to name a
few...
This unforgettable stage
production is complete with flamboyant costume changes, elaborate staging,
perfectly emulated vocal stylings and one of the best all-star backing
bands in the business. All of the many faces David Bowie are present… from
stadium-sized pop phenomenon, to space-age rock and roll alien Ziggy
Stardust… and so is the excitement and electricity…

"David Brighton's charisma keeps the audience
mesmerized and his vocals are flawless… His likeness to Bowie is
eerie… The crowd actually gasped in amazement as he took the stage...
you wondered if it wasn't really Bowie himself… Everyone was leaving
their seats and kicking up their platform heels to the sounds of
chart-topping hits like Fame, China Girl, Let's Dance and Modern
Love… What (Brighton and band) give is nothing short of
the opportunity to go back in time…" - The LA Review
Before entering the world of celebrity
impersonation, David played lead guitar with a number of popular recording
artists, including the hit arena rock band, Quiet Riot... in
which Brighton replaced the legendary guitarist, Randy Rhoads.
David
also enjoyed the hysteria that went along with portraying George Harrison
worldwide with a number of the world's top Beatle groups, Including:
The
Original Cast of Beatlemania,
The Fab Four,
1964 (The
Tribute), Beatlemania Live, Twist And Shout, Classical
Mystery Tour, The British Invasion, and
When We Were Fab.
Band
Members:
Paul Nelson: guitar/vocals
An accomplished guitarist, singer and
songwriter, Paul Nelson has had his original songs featured on television
and in films, including the Academy Award winning - The Usual
Suspects, Stephen King’s Apt Pupil, HBO and
Showtime, CBS and ABC (NYPD, All My Children, Two Against
Time, House, Dancing at the Harvest Moon). As a guitarist and
vocalist he played for two years with surf legends Jan and Dean, and has
performed with members of Jefferson Starship and The
Beach Boys, as well as with members of many solo artist's bands,
including: Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Beth Hart, Steve Vai, and Billy Idol.
So what does a musician who can play like anyone from Jeff Beck to Stevie
Ray Vaughn and can sing like Freddie Mercury do next? He portrays Mick
Ronson with Space Oddity, that's what. As Bowie's
charismatic, guitar riffing foil, Paul is able to fully
utilize his impressive abilities as a guitarist and vocalist to recreate
the peroxide blonde half of the legendary Bowie/Ronson partnership with
stunning precision.
Tuesday Knight: background
vocals/keyboards/percussion
Tuesday Knight left a recording contract with CBS
records in 1989 to pursue acting with phenomenal success. She has appeared
in more than a dozen films, starring opposite some of Hollywood's most
prominent stars - including Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken, Drew
Barrymore, Kevin Bacon and Alicia Silverstone. Beginning with the lead in
"A Nightmare on Elm Street IV," and recently co-starring with Billy
Bob Thornton in "Daddy And Them," Tuesday has not
only welcomed playing a variety of different roles but has also
contributed songs to several of the film's soundtracks. Tuesday's life was changed
forever after seeing DAVID BRIGHTON'S TRIBUTE TO DAVID BOWIE perform at Hollywood's world famous
House Of Blues. After the show,
Brighton received word that Tuesday wanted to sing with him. "We really
hit it off..." David said later. "We all fell in love with her and she's
been working with us ever since..."
Jason Harrison Smith:
drums/background vocals
Finding a drummer with the chops
necessary
to recapture the various styles of a body of work as eclectic and as
demanding as David Bowie's was no small task. From Bowie's dance
floor soul grooves and techno-pop mega-hits to his ground shaking rock and
roll anthems, Jason Smith knocks them all out with equal precision...
"He's quite possibly not of this Earth..." Brighton says of his
illustrious drummer. "He can play like anyone...and make you believe
you're hearing the original..." Smith's list
of credits read like a who's who of the music industry... having worked
with artists such as: Enrique Iglesias, Columbia recording
artists - Five for Fighting, and Jethro Tull's
Ian Anderson.
Trent Stroh: bass/background
vocals Bassist Trent Stroh is a highly
respected multi instrumentalist/vocalist with many years of professional
performing and recording experience. Trent has performed with a variety of
popular rock and pop artists, including touring and recording with for six
years with Eddie Money. Trent also toured with the classic accoustic/pop/rock
supergroup America, Nancy (These Boots Are Made For
Walking) Sinatra and pop hit makers, Air Supply. Trent has made
numerous TV appearances on ABC, NBC, BBC and can be heard on many
commercial jingles as well. Trent's meticulous attention to detail is his
halmark. His uncanny ability to reproduce the unique bass lines in David
Bowies music makes him the perfect choice for
Space Oddity.
