The idea for Tom to transform into a Neil Diamond impersonator occured to Marion in 1996. Marion, who is Tom's wife and business partner, worked side by side to recreate the look, sound and magic of Neil Diamond throughout most of 1996 and 1997. Since his first appearance as Neil Diamond in the fall of 1997, Tom has traveled far and wide throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe and has appeared at many major arenas and venues. His lookalike and soundalike tribute to "The Jazz Singer" is a favorite of the most discriminating Neil Diamond fans. Tom has been a featured entertainer at top casinos: Atlantic City, NJ, Laughlin and Las Vegas, NV, and Phoenix-Scottsdale, AZ. Tom has also entertained at many smaller resorts such as Mount Airy Lodge in the Poconos (mountains) of Pennsylvania, where he appeared early in his career.

As a Neil Diamond impersonator, Tom Sadge is much in demand year-round for large state and county fairs as well as at small private parties, weddings, benefits and fundraisers. Tom has entertained many thousands at corporate functions, conventions, and charitable events. He has also performed aboard Carnival Cruise Line's Legend and Pride ships as well as on river and show boats. Tom Sadge has appeared at outdoor concerts up and down the East Coast and West Coast and during halftime shows at the invitation of professional and semi-pro sports teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles, Phoenix Suns and Arizona Rattlers. Tom's live audiences have numbered as many as 68,000 (Philadelphia's Veterans' Stadium), and he has entertained at backyard BBQs for 12.

To gain invaluable experience, Tom Sadge spent many years as a cast member in popular productions shows: Legends Alive in Canada; The Really Big Shew in Seattle WA and at various other locations; Memories Theatre in Pigeon Forge, TN and, for nearly two years, as Neil Diamond in Phoenix-Scottsdale AZ where he performed in Casino Arizona's Stowstoppers Live. Tom is a devoted husband and father of two children who now only performs in long-running productions hows for a few weeks each year and is usually accompanied by his family.

Now mainly a solo performer and headliner who frequently incorporates the voices of Sinatra, Elvis and others into his show, Tom Sadge performs (up to) 90 minute shows with tracks or a tribute band, often closing with America. Tom's home base is within driving distance of New York City, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and other Eastern seabord cities. Tom travels his home base to points all over the U.S. and througout Canada. He has also performed in Europe on several occasions. He traveled to the Netherlands to entertain the Dutch Neil Diamond Fan Club on one trip "across the pond". On another occasion he performed with the The Lords, who are very well known in Germany.

As an opening act, Tom Sadge's credentials include being chosen as the opening act for national stars such as comedian Jackie Mason, Kool and the Gang, The Guess Who (featuring Burton Cummings), and the legendary Engelbert Humperdinck, as well as other entertainers.

Tom Sadge is very proud to have gotten to know Engelbert Humperdinck over the years. Engelbert, despite his superstar status, is a warm and friendly entertainer who frequently travels with his lovely wife Patricia and adult children, Louise Dorsey, Brad Dorsey and Scott Dorsey who are also involved in Engelbert's show.

Tom Sadge has met Neil Diamond on several occasions and has gotten to know some of Neil's longtime band members. No doubt these encounters have been the highlight of Tom Sadge's career.

As a longtime Neil Diamond fan as well as tribute artist, Tom Sadge was very honored when, during a 2002 concert in Pittsburgh PA, Neil leaned over the stage and, pointing to Tom, told the crowd of several thousand "This guy sounds just like me!."
