Richey Suncoast Theatre Transmuted into a Ziggy Stardust Wonderland with FAME: The Ultimate BOWIE Tribute

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL – March 17, 2026 – On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the historic Richey Suncoast Theatre will host a legendary musical odyssey as it proudly presents FAME: The Ultimate BOWIE Tribute. This one-night-only symphonic journey celebrates the chameleonic legacy of David Bowie, from the ethereal echoes of "Space Oddity" to the high-energy anthems of the 80s.

Featuring the uncanny vocals and stage presence of Thomas Clay as "Bowie," the production meticulously recreates the most iconic eras of the Starman’s career. Audiences can expect a high-fidelity trek through the early 70s Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars era, the soulful sophistication of the Thin White Duke, and the global pop phenomenon of the 80s, featuring hits like "Modern Love" and "Let’s Dance".

The performance features a powerhouse band of seasoned professionals:

• Thomas Clay (Lead Vocals): A frontman whose journey began at age 3 and whose career spans Broadway and film.

• David G. Maki (Saxophone/Vocals): A seasoned musician who brings the essential brass energy to Bowie's catalog.

• Mark Skey (Guitar): A professional with 30 years of experience who has recorded with Nirvana producer Steve Albini.

• Eric Smith (Keyboards/Bass/Vocals): A versatile composer and multi-instrumentalist.

• Zach Phillips (Drums): An experienced percussionist with ten studio albums to his credit.

• JD (Backup Vocals): An opera-trained vocalist who performs a stunning duet on "Under Pressure".

"Wow, just close your eyes and you think you’re hearing the real thing," raved one fan from Tampa. Another noted, "A tribute or no tribute, one of the best bands I've seen in years".
