It took well-known musician Reggie Fecteau, lead vocalist/guitarist and Owner/Manager of Ticket to the Moon, eight months to assemble the best, highly seasoned musicians around for his new hit phenomenon of an orchestra. Emulating The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), the award-winning English rock band that formed in 1970, Fecteau and his ten-piece group present over two dozen hits… music characterized by a fusion of Beatlesque pop, classical arrangements, and futuristic iconography. The original ELO were billed in the United States as “the English guys with the big fiddles”; Ticket to the Moon is no different. Audiences will be standing, singing and dancing to many of their favorites including ”Evil Woman” , “Strange Magic”, “Telephone Line”, “Livin’ Thing”,“Don’t Bring Me Down” and “Can’t Get it Out of My Head”. Vero Beach will be one of the first on the Treasure Coast to all-out love this outstanding concert.
