Tenor Justin Gonzalez knew from a young age that music was extraordinary. Twenty years after his first European tour, Justin Gonzalez is still a sought-after classical music soloist, performing in venues like Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and the Cathedral Notre Dame in Paris. He is also a storyteller and practitioner of the American Song Book and the music of Broadway. Justin uses all this to entertain, educate, and share his story. When Justin isn't singing with the world's best classical musicians and popular music performers and writing his own music to perform with the Justin Gonzalez Trio, he is the lead singer of 33 ⅓ LIVE's Killer Queen Experience.

Magician Denny Corby works every room, from sold-out auditoriums with thousands of seats to intimate gatherings where his close-up magic stuns and delights. Denny fell in love with magic as a kid growing up in Scranton, PA, and he had an obvious knack for entertainment. His parents supported his enthusiasm, enrolled him in every magic class they could find and encouraged him to perform for family and friends.
