I have decided to go in a totally different direction in this particular blog review and it is going to be a very special review. I am going to introduce to you a Queen tribute band and this will take you by surprise. The lead singer from Christian Pop/Rock band Downhere is now the lead singer of this tribute band.
The drummer Roger Taylor took the time to audition different people who were interested in being the lead singer in the Queen Extravaganza and Marc Martel who used to be the lead vocalist in Downhere won the audition. Marc Martel is very influenced by Queen and he does sound like Freddie Mercury who is one of the greatest singers in one of the greatest bands in the history of music.
Recently, i went to the Sunday Night Live event at costa coffee at the very end of August and i had a conversation with a friend who goes to church and we spoke about music. He was about to recommend the band Downhere and I have been listening to them for a few years and that is when i found out that the lead singer from Downhere auditioned to be the lead vocalist in the Queen Extravaganza and to my surprise he won the audition.
The next day, i went on youtube and watched Marc Martel sing ''Somebody To Love'' on American Idol and he was absolutely brilliant. I did a research on the Queen Extravaganza to find out more about them and i found out that guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor were behind it all.
If you have never heard of Downhere, can i encourage you to check them out. They are a fantastic band and their music is in a Pop/Rock style. I will recommend one of their songs, ''Surrender''. That song is incredible and Marc Martel's singing is quite powerful. ''Surrender'' is on ''Wide Eyed And Mystified. May God use Marc Martel in a mighty way to shine God's radiant light on this generation and i pray that souls will be saved and won over to Jesus Christ who is the greatest champion that has ever lived. If you have given your life to Jesus and you are part of God's massive family, you are a champion in God's eyes. May God Bless You.
