Band Bio
The Roy Orbison Experience, the UK’s newest and most authentic tribute to the music of Roy Orbison, one of America’s most famous voices. The Roy Orbison Experience is a celebration of the music of Roy Orbison, fronted by the incredible voice of Oliver Harris, who has appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe, the West End and many theatres across the UK. With a live band dedicated to faithfully replicating the iconic sound, it is guaranteed to be an experience that audiences and fans of Roy will not want to miss. This is no tongue in cheek look-a-like or impersonation, but rather a special unique live performance passionately replicating the unrivalled voice, sound, style and vision of Roy Orbison. Oliver Harris and his Roy Orbison Experience bring you on a musical journey celebrating the rock n roll hall of fame and 6-time grammy award winning
“Big O”, telling his story and we invite you to experience the classic voice of Roy Orbison with us.
“You’d never expect five young musicians from Yorkshire to sound more like Roy Orbison than Roy himself”
Backed by a fabulous band, you’ll be taken from the rockabilly Sun Record years, his chart topping 60s hits, right through to the Traveling Wilburys era. Featuring all the Classic hits including: Pretty Woman, Crying, I Drove all Night, You Got It, Only the Lonely, In Dreams, California Blue, Handle With Care along with many of Roy’s iconic ballad’s, famous covers and rock and roll classics in a sensational 2 hour theatre show. Orbison's music, like the man himself, has been described as timeless, so join us and relive the operatic magic of the man they nicknamed “The Caruso of Rock”.
REVIEWS:
What a brilliant experience to see this band. Great evening of Roy Orbison songs bringing back many memories. You will not be disappointed. - Jeanette Spice, Audience Member
Oliver Harris was AMAZING. One could close ones' eyes and one would think that it was Roy Orbison on the stage. - Peter Foster, Audience Member
The real Roy Orbison was smiling down on you five Barnsley blokes (and even might have learned a thing or two from you!). Please come back next year! - Alan from Thame, Audience Member
Fabulous show with Oliver Harris and his amazing band tonight at The Caves, Edinburgh… thank you for a fantastic evening. - Anita from Edinburgh, Audience Member
Absolutely amazing show - saw them in Maltby and was blown away by the band and Oliver's amazing voice - Clive from Maltby, Audience Member
I wanted to get in touch with you guys since I am the booker for Chapel Arts Centre in Bath and am also The Manager of 13 years. We had a ‘new for us’ band on here on 4th February, who, I have to say were absolutely brilliant – they are in my best 5 of all time ‘tribute’ bands and I do put on a lot of tributes. They are called ‘The Roy Orbison Experience’ They are a 5 piece from Yorkshire. They are also lovely guys to-boot. I have NEVER in all my time here, had so many positive comments and requests to bring them back, which I normally only do on an annual basis, but I am trying to get these guys back in six months if we can fix a date. They received a standing ovation, and the
lead singer was on point with the voice of Roy Orbison, who has a very distinctive voice and some customers said it was even better… I have taken a picture of them performing with the standing ovation, and only hope you don’t miss out on booking them – since I believe it would be a huge
loss on your part. - Jan (Manager) from Chapel Arts Centre, Bath
