Conway – The Arts Jubilee Summer Concert Series presents the Masterstroke Queen Experience on Thursday, July 16th at Cranmore Mountain Resort. Dan Aldrich will be the the featured local opening act at 6 pm, followed by the ‘MQE’ at 7 pm. 

The Masterstroke Queen Experience brings the amazing songs of Queen to life on the stage, with a tip of the cap to the style, bombast, and essence of Queen’s live shows. Founded in 2015 by band leader/lead vocalist and self-professed “Queen Freak,” Sean Slaughter (finalist in the 2011 Roger Taylor/ Brian May officially Queen sanctioned Queen Extravaganza Contest), the 'MQE' is nine members strong of exceptionally experienced and talented musicians who replicate the complex album arrangements and layers that Queen produced so spectacularly well, while still having fun and doing some mash-ups with live versions.

“Sean Slaughter and his band of merry men and women burn it down! The high quality performers and performance take the crowd from 1973 to the early ’90s as they cover the hits and deep tracks of the band who invented arena rock and spectacle. The Masterstroke Queen Experience, in the spirit of Queen, is a rock’n’roll rollercoaster ride, rich in musical history and tons of fun!” - Steve Peer, writer “Steve’s Theme Park”
