Called the most authentic Queen tribute rock band since the days of Queen themselves, get ready to be rocked by the champions when Almost Queen offers the real experience at Waterbury’s Palace Theater for one day only on Saturday May 16 at 8 p.m. In perfect costumes, Almost Queen will deliver a performance with four part harmonies, live energy, presenting one ultimate Queen musical precision experience for your enjoyment.
Howard Stern has stated “These guys are even better than the Queen that’s out there touring.” Almost Queen guitarist Steve Leonard will open the show and perform with his band. He has been writing songs since his first rock concert, letting the music flow. He has a unique talent for blending rock with his reflective songwriting, often including contributions from Eric Slick on drums, Dave Dreiwitz on bass, John Skehan on mandolin and more.
Called breathtaking and authentically “guaranteed to blow your mind,” this four piece band is expert on recreating the Queen experience as unforgettable concert magic. For more than two decades, this group has faithfully recreated the sounds created by Freddie Mercury way back in 1970 in his British rock band. Formed in London, the band originally included Brian May on guitar and vocals, Roger Taylor on drums and vocals, John Deacon on bass with Freddie Mercury on piano and lead vocals. By 1975 they had achieved international success with “A Night at the Opera,” with “Bohemian Rhapsody” and later, in 1977, their album "News of the World” containing “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.”
By the early 1980’s, Queen had achieved status as one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world. In addition, they were one of the world’s best selling music artists, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
