Seattle's progressive rockers QUEENSRŸCHE will join the stellar 2011 Synergia Northwest line-up Friday May 6 at the Moore Theatre in Seattle to support youth music education in Washington State. "They are a perfect fit" said musician and show producer Michael McMorrow. "Their music has resonated for a couple generations of music fans here in the northwest and world-wide; and of course lends itself to symphonic components beautifully, and most importantly, they get it. They totally understand the tremendous need to support youth music education programs. They know where they come from."
The band has released eleven studio albums and several EPs and DVDs and continues to tour and record. Queensrÿche has been successful in the progressive scene, having sold over 20 million albums worldwide including over 6 million albums in the United States. .As of August 25, 2010 Queensrÿche signed with Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records tentatively for a spring 2011 album release.
