The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Presents ONE NIGHT OF QUEEN, 4/20

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust presents the return of One Night of Queen, a rock tribute concert that emulates the spirit and passion of rock icon Freddie Mercury, on Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 7:30 p.m., at the Byham Theater. Performed by musician Gary Mullen & The Works, this 80's rock concert pays tribute to the stage theatrics and music of British band Queen guaranteed to be "accurately and faithfully performed with the feel of the original preserved (BBC)." This concert is part of the 2010-2011 Cohen & Grigsby Trust Presents series.

Formed in 2000 by Gary Mullen, One Night of Queen has toured virtually non-stop around the U.K., U.S.A., Germany, Portugal, France, Holland, and New Zealand, playing in theaters, festivals, and arenas to sold-out crowds. Brian May, the former guitarist and song writer for Queen raves that, "Gary bears a remarkable likeness to Freddie, not only in emulating Freddie's unique stage persona but also accurately reproducing Freddie's live vocal style and range."

The tribute band will perform Queen mega-hits such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We are the Champions," "Killer Queen," "You're My Best Friend", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "Radio Ga Ga," "Under Pressure," "Another One Bites the Dust" and many others. Gary Mullen, vocals, will be accompanied by band members David Brockett - lead guitar, Billy Moffat - bass guitar, Jonathan Evans - drums and Malcolm Gentles - keyboards. One Night of Queen will ROCK YOU! "As tribute bands go, there can be none better than this. Superb." (Blackpool Gazette)
