Yellow Brick Road - A Tribute to Elton John
The Masterstroke Queen Experience
Yellow Brick Road - A Tribute to Elton John
There is no other performer who looks and sounds so much like Elton John, nor any tribute act that provides the experience of being at an Elton John concert the way Gerald Brann and Yellow Brick Road do. Brann not only bears an uncanny resemblance to the international superstar — complete with gap-toothed smile and many of his mannerisms — but recreates Elton John's vocals and playing to a tee.
To capture the essence of the piano man, Brann dresses in replica costumes and wears Elton's trademark outrageous glasses. A trained jazz pianist, Brann has been a lifelong Elton John fan, and his admiration for and love of his music comes shining through as he plays one hit after another with remarkable likeness to the pop music icon. Brann and his talented five-piece band evoke audience participation throughout the entire show — whether singing along to "Rocket Man" and "Your Song," swaying to "Candle in the Wind," or hopping and bopping to "Crocodile Rock."
The Masterstroke Queen Experience
The Masterstroke Queen Experience, featuring Sean Slaughter on lead vocals, brings the illustrious music of Queen to the stage without wigs or costumes. They are not impersonators, they are a band of phenomenal musicians who flawlessly play every song, every harmony and every note the way Queen produced them. Slaughter, who has been obsessed with Queen since age 5, was a finalist in the Roger Taylor and Brian May produced “Queen Extravaganza” contest. He flew to Los Angeles along with the other finalists and auditioned in front of the members of Queen and their management at the Foo Fighters personal recording studio. Slaughter’s experience in this contest led him to forming and founding his own queen tribute act in 2015. The Masterstroke Queen Experience was born. The band puts on a thrilling, high energy performance that stuns critics and crowds alike.
“The Masterstroke Queen Experience was in town and Sean Slaughter and his merry men and women burned it down. The high quality performers and performance took the crowd from 1973 to the early '90's as they covered deep tracks and the hits of the band who invented arena rock and spectacle. The two plus hour show never let up. Slaughter keeps things moving by leading the charge and graciously stepping aside featuring his skilled colleagues and guest musicians, who he clearly holds in high regard. Slaughter is the consumate front man and band leader. He is the man for the job with vocal chops, flair, humility, humor and again, a deep admiration and respect for those who share the stage with him. The Masterstroke Queen Experience, in the spirit of Queen, is a rock'n'roll roller coaster ride, rich in musical history and tons of fun! Buckle up for 2024!!!” Steve Peer
