Atomic Light Orchestra

Reproducing the sound of ELO is a tough task. Just ask any musician. This band has the goods.

Dennis Schocket's (guitars and lead vocals) voice is directly influenced by Jeff Lynne. "I think Jeff is quite possibly the greatest, most under rated pop vocalist ever." Gregg Simmons (lead guitar and lead vocals) is known for his great fret work but it's his incredible falsetto that gets him noticed here. Gregg says "You can't make ELO music without the high notes!" He's right of course. Veteran keyboardist, John Kelly (keys, guitar and lead vocals) takes on the multiple rolls of keys and strings with effortless grace and joy. John says "This music is just so beautifully crafted." Violinist Greta Thomas is the newest member of the band. She brings her classically trained excellence to every song. Multi-instrumentalist Bronson Wagner (bass, keys and lead vocals) has the difficult task of reproducing that epic ELO bass rumble, but does so with style and flair. Anchoring all this is drummer Phil Brotman, doing his best Bev Bevan impersonation. "I love this music. It's just full of joy and love."
