Turn to Stone: The Tribute to ELO

Turn To Stone, America’s authentic ‘70s Electric Light Orchestra tribute band, was created to preserve the legacy and music of the band for all generations of fans. Turn To Stone strives to capture the essence of a live retro performance, with the high quality production and orchestration standards of the modern day. The band tours with the same instrumentation as 1970’s ELO; consisting of a guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, drummer, violinist, and two cellists. Authentic costumes and a live string section help deliver an unforgettable performance that brings the early years of ELO back to life.

Electric Light Orchestra was formed in 1970 in Birmingham, England, to create modern rock songs with classical overtones. After a founding member departed the group in 1972, Jeff Lynne became the sole leader of the band; producing and arranging all of their music. Along with keyboardist Richard Tandy, bass player Kelly Groucutt, and drummer Bev Bevan, Lynne would go on to create the magic that ELO is recognized for around the world. Turn To Stone is proud to perform the music of ELO to all generations of fans across America!

Fourth Avenue

Fourth Avenue, a professional a cappella quartet based in Dayton, OH, entertains and engages audiences with concerts that feature a variety of familiar pop, rock, soul, R&B, gospel, and doo-wop favorites from different eras, as well as catchy original music performed with their unique high-energy approach.

Fourth Avenue is currently celebrating thirty years of making music! Since their start in 1993, they have shared the stage with such national acts as the Beach Boys, The Temptations, Styx, and Three Dog Night. The group celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary of entertaining audiences in 2018, and in 2019, they were honored to perform for the West Virginia Governor’s School for the Arts. Most amazing is Fourth Avenue’s ability, as “the band without instrument,” to perform pop favorites and original tunes using nothing but their own voices!
