David K as Roy Orbison: “Lonely Blue Dreams” Tribute

Escape into a legendary celebration of Roy Orbison hits, and lend your ears to exceptional new Roy-style songs found in dreams.

So many troubled hearts have found refuge in Roy’s vulnerable voice and writing. His operatic style calms and empowers. His hits catalog unequaled. Roy stands alone among the legends of any time. David K sings Roy’s multi-octave range beautifully and with power. His stage presence, wit and passion within this tribute shine. His excellent band and string players employ precision and feel.

In L.A. in 1992 David K was asked, “You a songwriter?” He answered, “Yes.” “Send me a song,” the man said, sharing his card. That night David wrote, “It Was A Mistake,” Roy-style, and sent it to the late Orbison’s manager. Locked down decades later, David K rehearsed daily, waking nightly to a voice crooning in his head, “Pretty Woman”… or “Crying.” He begged Roy to quit so he could sleep. Roy persisted. One night, the haunting tune was “Lonely Blue Dreams…”  “Stop it, Roy,” David said. “Wait… is that you Roy?” Half-awake, guitar in hand, David captured the song. Had Roy sent it? Time stood still as he wandered dreamscapes catching songs like snow wafting in the night. Would Roy send more?

This show is a heartfelt tour of musical memories, and a new dream. Is Roy sending David K songs in the night? Grab a copy of Lonely Blue Dreams, the new David K album with five Roy hits, one song written at the request of Roy Orbison’s manager, and seven songs dreamed by David K.
