    Sedona News (June 16, 2021: Prior to Mercury’s stunning performance of their legendary tribute to Freddy Mercury of Queen performed Friday, June 11 at the Sedona performing Arts Center, Sedona.biz was granted an exclusive backstage interview with the band.

    The Sedona International Film Festival partnered with Unify Sedona: A Rainbow Alliance to present “Mercury: The Story of Queen’s Front Man” 

    Mercury celebrates the music of Freddie Mercury and Queen — a band that rocked the world and the fame, decadence, tragedy and triumph that swirled around its leader. 

    Mercury is a “rockumentary. It is not a look-alike sound-alike impersonation but a true story about Freddie Mercury’s life and music told and narrated and performed by a cast of five incredible musicians. 

    Mercury stars international opera singer and six-time Grammy-Nominee Terry Barber who’s a former member of the Grammy Award group “Chanticleer”. Terry is considered the world’s best countertenor with a four octave range like Freddie Mercury. He’s performed for the Metropolitan Opera. Moscow’s Svetlanov Hall and at Carnegie Hall and his voice can be heard in every major record label with a variety of artists from Madonna to the London Philharmonic.  

    Terry and the band help the audience get to know, the rock legend up close and personal. It’s about fame, decadence, triumph and tragedy and a man who had it all and could never have enough. His music made the world shake, stomp, chant, and cheer and he helped a generation learn to rock! Here is the Mercury backstage interview below:

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
