"ABSOLUTE QUEEN" IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AT BRIDGEPORT'S DOWNTOWN CABARET

In 1970 four young musicians, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, met in London to form a band, a band that would guarantee them royalty status one day. Their early work landed them on a throne of hard rock, progressive rock and heavy metal, which led later to arena and pop rock. You might know the guys better as Queen, led on vocals and piano by Freddie Mercury. He teamed up with Brian May on guitar and vocals and Roger Taylor on drums and vocals, finally being completed with John Deacon on bass. They gained international success with their album “A Night at the Opera,” which had a catchy little number called “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Years later that would be the title of a movie focusing on Queen’s formative beginnings, leading up to the celebrated 1985 Live Aid concert where Queen dominated the stage with all the other great rockers.

Now you have the unique opportunity to celebrate Queen and their music when Absolute Queen comes to Bridgeport’s Downtown Cabaret for two performances at 3:30 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 11 for your listening and rafter-raising pleasure. Be prepared to relive the ecstatic joy of the 1980’s as lead singer Martyn Jenkins from Wales sets the bar as high as the castle walls. Jenkins toured Europe for years as front man for the European Touring Queen Show “Night at the Opera.” With Chris Kinder on percussion, he adds his extensive experience touring, playing and recording music for Jon Oliva as the genius behind the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This tribute band totals six members, with Jenkins inserting stories along with the music. Absolute Queen can also morph into a quartet of other tribute concert makers!

With attention to detail paramount, Absolute Queen has invested hundreds of hours in the studio perfecting their multitude of harmonies, producing incredible audience experiences.
