David Bowie Tribute Set for Spencer Theatre, 7/7

David Brighton is the world's best David Bowie impersonator and performer with one of the most entertaining tribute acts ever to hit the stage. His "Space Oddity" is a brilliant and astounding tribute, perfectly mirroring the electrifying superstar, an avante guard musician, composer, lyricist, actor and dramatist who was always ahead of what came next! >From pop/rock legend and mime dancer to space alien Ziggy Stardust, David Brighton and his stellar five-man band chronicle all of David Bowie's Ch-Ch-Changes in electrifying Technicolor.

Brighton's credits include performing side-by-side with David Bowie for Reality, Bowie's gold CD studio recording of 2003, and in the TV commercials for Vittel Mineral Water. 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 since its 2012 launch. (Bowie hand-picked Brighton to play his younger self in the spot). Brighton also appeared as Bowie on VH-1 television and in pop superstar Shakira's concert video. He has performed live concerts, made radio and TV appearances worldwide as a celebrity look-alike/sound-alike since 1994, and has 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.

"Space Oddity," appearing at the Spencer on Thursday, July 7 at 8 p.m., is an unforgettable stage production is complete with flamboyant costume changes, elaborate staging, perfectly emulated vocal styling and one of the best all-star backing bands in the business (it's members performed with Bowie himself, as well as with major acts including America, Dweezil Zappa and Foreigner). With "Space Oddity," all of the many faces and phases of Bowie are present, and so is the excitement and electricity that embraced everything he created.

"David Brighton's charisma keeps the audience mesmerized and his vocals are flawless...His likeness to Bowie is eerie... 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.
