Queen Nation*
There is little doubt among the pure rock community that the legendary band Queen and lead performer Freddie Mercury earn high ranks as one of the most powerful and iconic groups in rock history. Queen, the kings of arena rock, performed to packed stadiums around the globe for over two decades.
Freddie took showmanship by a rock front man to a new untapped level and was undisputedly crowned the Lord of arena rock. He mesmerized audiences with his charismatic energy and larger than life stage persona. Upon his death in 1991, a huge void was left in the rock concert world, which to this day has not yet been matched.
Queen Nation, a tribute to Queen, The show was formed in 2004 by LA based music agency DMHE . Queen Nation is the West Coast’s longest running most authentic costumed re- creation of a Vintage Queen concert. The show consists of four musicians (not 5 or 6 artists as in a few other Queen Tributes) who all sing and perform in character and in period costumes while playing live note-for-note renditions of Classic Queen songs. Featured front man Vocalist Gregory Finsley is an amazing singer with an uncanny tone that matches the late great Freddy Mercury to a tee . Gregory also is an excellent concert pianist which allows him to accurately re- create what Freddy Mercury magically did live on stage in Queen’s original four piece lineup. Queen Nation has been crowned by their loyal legion of fans as “The Peoples Choice Tribute To Queen Champions ” arguably they are one of the hardest working tribute bands in the US .
Queen Nation consists of: Gregory Finsley on vocals & keyboards as Freddie Mercury, Mike McManus on guitar as Brian May, Pete Burke on drums as Roger Taylor and Parker Combs on bass as John Deacon. The mission of the show is to carry on the musical torch and pay homage to the golden age of vintage Queen concerts.
Queen Nation’s live 90-minute production of Queen’s greatest hits preserves the image, sound, and stage persona of vintage Queen. Audiences are amazed at the accuracy of Queen Nation’s live retrospective journey through such Queen songs as We Will Rock You – Bohemian Rhapsody – We Are The Champions – Crazy Little Thing Called Love – You’re My Best Friend – Another One Bites The Dust – Under Pressure and many more. They have performed in front of thousands of people at casinos, fairs, festivals and private affairs.
