Kicking off their maiden national tour, Play ME brings its sensational tribute to Neil Diamond to Kirkland on Wednesday, July 24.

The performance runs from 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Kirkland Performance Center, 350 Kirkland Ave., Kirkland.

You won’t believe your ears when you first hear New Mexico’s own Neil Diamond, recording artist Chris Waggoner performing some of the most beloved, iconic Neil Diamond tunes, backed by his 10-piece “Play Me” Band. The band routinely puts on high-powered, sold-out performances throughout its home state of New Mexico, and is now excited to kick off its first-ever national tour in Kirkland.

Waggoner is dedicating this special performance to the memory of his brother and former City of Kirkland Planning Commission president Bill Waggoner who passed away in June of 1997.

Also in attendance and making a special guest appearance will be Kirkland’s own multi-talented soprano, Kim Maguire.

Tickets are $35.
