August 23: Bobby Bruce’s Nearly Neil & The Solitary Band: A PNE OriginalFor Bobby Bruce, the PNE has always felt like home. Before he began touring his world-class tribute to Neil Diamond in 1994, Bobby was already a familiar face at the Fair. Working everywhere from the backstretch and maintenance crews to starring in production shows as a young entertainer. Those formative years honed his stagecraft, igniting a career that would eventually take him from BC to audiences across North America, Southeast Asia, Europe and Australia.
Despite over three decades of international travel, Bobby remains a local artist at heart, taking great pride in his British Columbia roots. His performances with the powerhouse Solitary Band have become a beloved annual tradition—a chance to bring the community together through a shared love of music. This season, as Bobby returns to the PNE, it’s not just another performance; it’s a heartfelt homecoming to the community that has always meant the most.
