A deliberate four-piece band, Almost Queen delivers a live performance showcasing signature four-part harmonies and intricate musical interludes. Donning genuine costumes, Almost Queen recaptures the live energy and precision that is the ultimate Queen experience.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like seeing the original Queen lineup without having to travel back in time! Joseph Russo acts as iconic frontman Freddie Mercury, Steve Leonard portrays the curly-haired Brian May, John Cappadonna is drummer Roger Taylor, and Randy Gregg personifies bassist John Deacon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Steve Leonard:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steve Leonard has been playing guitar and writing songs since the time of his first rock concert at Brendan Byrne Arena (Whitesnake). Walking the fine line between John Denver and Frank Zappa, Steve resists judgement and prefers to just let the music flow. Steve has an instinctive propensity to rock, as the guitarist for Queen tribute Almost Queen should. His rock desires are balanced by reflective writing tendencies and an impulsive need to catch a groove.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>General Ticket Information:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All seating is reserved for this all-ages event.
