I love live music, and it is good to be able to attend in-person shows again since COVID-19 restriction have loosed a bit.

I will be attending, along with my girlfriend Maggie, two tribute performances at Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) in Morristown, N.J.: one in April, and the other in May.

First up, on Saturday, April 16th at 8:00 p.m., One Night of Queen, Gary Mullen and the Works, will be playing at MPAC.

The band will rock you when it brings the music of Queen to life with note-by-note renditions of such classics as “Keep Yourself Alive,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “You’re My Best Friend,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and more.

Mullen began touring on his own and in 2002, he formed the band ‘The Works’, to pay tribute to rock legends Queen.

Up next is Tusk, one of the world’s most foremost Fleetwood Mac tribute bands, as it will be hitting the stage at MPAC on Friday, May 6th at 8:00 p.m.

From “Don’t Stop,” “Go Your Own Way,” to “Dreams” and “The Chain,” Tusk recreates the tunes of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and others over the years in perfect musical form.
