Celebrating more than ten years of tribute performances, his appearances on Good Morning America, VH1, and MTV have showcased his ability to capture Mercury’s legendary showmanship, captivating personality, and remarkable vocal strength. Rob R., the lead guitarist, is a maestro whose talent has graced stages alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers, LL Cool J, Vince Neil, and Andy Cooney, echoing the distinctive style of Queen’s Brian May. Bassist James L. carries a legacy of musical excellence, having honed his craft with bass legends from the bands of Paul Simon, Cyndi Lauper, and Herbie Hancock. Drummer Dave W., embodying the spirit of Roger Taylor, has showcased his prowess opening for renowned acts like White Lion, Skidrow, Obsession, and EZO, infusing the band with his unique energy.

Tickets range from $29–$55 and are available for purchase online. The Concert Hall at Drew University is located at 36 Madison Avenue in Madison, New Jersey.
