Visit Fort Myers lists the event as sponsored by Renewal by Andersen. The listing describes Almighty Queen simply as a Queen tribute act, and notes that the band's musicians carry performance credits that include work with Brian Howe of Bad Company, Carmine Appice, Rod Stewart, and Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden.
