On April 1st, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release The Candlelight Concerts - Live At Montreux 2013 from QUEEN legend BRIAN MAY and West End and Broadway sensation KERRY ELLIS as a DVD + CD set, Blu-ray + CD and digital formats.
Brian May and Kerry Ellis called in to rock journalist Mitch Lafon to discuss the release. The conversation also touched upon Kerry's former role as Eliza Doolittle and Brian being her musical mentor. The two talked about working together and Brian taking on the role of producer on her Anthems album. Brian also discussed The Queen biopic, memories of Montreal, KISS drummer Eric Singer, his future recording plans and more. The interview's raw audio can be heard below:
Filmed at the renowned Stravinski Auditorium during the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 2013, The Candlelight Concerts - Live At Montreux 2013 is a wonderfully intimate show that blends Kerry Ellis’ beautiful voice with the extraordinary guitar playing of Brian May. Throughout a largely acoustic performance of standards, ballads, Queen songs and cover songs, May’s guitar style perfectly compliments Ellis’ theatrical vocals. Also included in the set is the Acoustic By Candlelight CD, recorded live on the UK leg of their tour in Autumn 2012. As a bonus feature, the DVD includes a performance of 'Nothing Really Has Changed' with Virginia McKenna.
