Magic City Productions presents
Killer Queen
A Tribute to Queen
Featuring Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury
Wednesday, March 29th, 2023 at 7:30pm | Weinberg Theatre | Reserved Seating
Click Here to Visit the Tour Website
The English rock group Queen is an iconic sensation stacking up 18 number one albums, 18 number one singles and is one of the world’s best-selling music artists. Their performance at 1985’s Live Aid is regarded as one of the greatest in rock history. The music of Queen continues to inspire generations of young and old fans through their infectious rock songs played in numerous films (Revenge of The Nerds, Highlander, Wayne’s World, High Fidelity, A Knight’s Tale, Iron Man 2, and Academy Award winning movie Bohemian Rhapsody) and the Broadway musical We Will Rock You.
This year marks the 48th anniversary of Queen’s first international hit, Bohemian Rhapsody, which gave them their first top ten hit in America and catapulted them to the world stage and rock stardom. They also gave us two of rock’s most recognizable anthems, We Will Rock You, and We Are the Champions.
Now, here is your opportunity to relive the Queen phenomenon! Formed back in 1993, Killer Queen has distinguished itself as the world’s foremost Queen tribute show. Their first public concerts were at London University, following in the footsteps of the original Queen who had played their first shows there 23 years earlier. By 1995, they secured a residency in London’s West End, the first tribute band to do so, and continued to grow both in the UK and Europe, culminating in winning the award for “Worldwide Best Tribute Band.” During their various careers, the musicians have worked and recorded with a vast array of artists including Roger Taylor and Brian May. Killer Queen was also selected by Sir Bob Geldof to represent Queen in a restaged tribute Live Aid concert.
Killer Queen will take you back to the ‘70s and ‘80s as they re-create the charismatic and uncannily accurate renditions of Queen through appearance, sound and energy of the original stars that defined rock music. Authentic costumes, impeccable harmonies, with lead singer Patrick Myers resurrecting Freddie Mercury both physically and vocally, all come together to give the audience the Queen “live in concert” experience.

String Fling

Doors at 7:00 PM | Show at 7:30 PM
Tickets: $28.25 Advance, $38.25 Day of Show | General Admission | Shopland Hall
FEATURING
Dishonest Fiddlers
JP Biondo
Little Toby Walker
The Hot Club of Scranton
The Dishonest Fiddlers are an acoustic ensemble based in Northeast PA. Since its inception, the Americana/Roots band has performed traditional folk/bluegrass material but always prioritized original songs.
This “front-porch band” balances strong vocal harmonies and tight instrumental prowess with bluegrass inflections and jug band sensibilities.
What began as a loose rag-tag style group in 2014 has been picking its way throughout the Northeast, performing and collaborating with countless members of Northeast Pennsylvania’s burgeoning music collective.
The Dishonest Fiddlers are currently performing as a trio featuring:
Dave Brown (Harmonica/Guitar)
Shawn Caden (Mandolin/Banjo)
Jasper Paciotti (Upright Bass)
James “JP” Biondo (CABINET) grew up in Gouldsboro, PA and has been writing songs since his early teens. He has been a singer most all his life, always enjoying the voice as an instrument. JP has helped progress the band with his songwriting skill and mandolin playing for more than 12 years and is responsible for much of the original material for the band. When not working with Cabinet you can find him out solo supporting his debut full length release “Blue Radio”. With Pappy as Owl & Crow and on guitar in his new found local all star group The Mule Team. JP will be joined by Chris Kearney.
Internationally and nationally acclaimed Toby Walker has been hailed as an award winning, roots music fingerstyle guitar virtuoso and songwriter who has toured the US, the United Kingdom, Canada and Europe. Blending the styles of blues, ragtime, country, bluegrass, old-time jazz and rock, Walker has developed his own style and as such received numerous awards, including being the 1st place recipient of the International Blues Challenge Award in Memphis and the NY Music Award for best instrumental CD. Walker has also been inducted into the NY Blues Hall Of Fame.
Walker is a nationally recognized guitar instructor, having taught at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch, Woody Mann’s Guitar Seminars, The Swanannoa Gathering, The New Jersey Big Guitar Camp and the Guitar Intensive in Maine. Walker also has eight instructional DVD’s on Happy Traum’s Homespun Music Instruction and has produced hundreds of instructional videos for his own website.
Toby’s passion for blues, rags, folk, and other traditional American music drove him to leave an apartment crammed full of recordings, books and instruments for the Mississippi Delta, Virginia and the Carolinas where he tracked down some of the more obscure – but immensely talented – music makers of an earlier era. He learned directly from Eugene Powell, James “Son” Thomas, Etta Baker, and R.L Burnside, among others.
“If he doesn’t get them with his phenomenal guitar playing or catchy songs, he gets them with his wonderful stories. True entertainers have an engaing spirit that puts a smile on your face. Arlo Guthrie has it. David Bromberg has it. And so does Toby. ”
– John Platt – WFUV
“Flat out… you have to hear this great musician… I’m blown away”
Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and the Jefferson Airplane
“A fingerpicking guitar virtuoso”
– Happy Traum
