Bring back the memories with the voice of Yvan, that Brian May of Queen describes as “The Kind of Performer you Dream of Finding.” About Yvan Discovered by the general public in 2016 when four chairs turned around during his appearance on Canada’s version of “The Voice,” Yvan Pedneault’s vocal power astonished all of Canada. Yvan was 25 when rock legends Brian May and Roger Taylor, members of the iconic band Queen selected him to play the lead role of Galileo in their Canadian production of We Will Rock You. It was a smash hit rock musical that was performed nearly 800 times in front of over 1 million theatre-goers over the course of its two and a half year run in Toronto. Besides We Will Rock You, Yvan has performed notable roles in RENT, Rock of Ages, and Notre-Dame-de-Paris. In 2017, he released his first self-titled album with contributions from several renowned collaborators. Following that release, he created the Canadian show, Rhapsody, the Classics of Queen, which has seen rapid growth in popularity in Canada. He is now bringing his incredible show to America – Queen – A Royal Tribute featuring Yvan. Why Support J Live?
