America’s leading tribute to the one and only Beatles. Ticket to Ride has been touring internationally since 1999 and features some of the best Beatles impersonators in the country. Their show includes many of the Beatles iconic  looks. It  begins with the four lads appearing  on stage wearing the iconic 1964 famous black Beatle suits, thin black ties and ” Beatle Boots”.  The second half of the show features the vibrant “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” uniforms, closing  with a trip down Abbey Road. Ticket to Ride performs songs from every Beatles album, with  beautiful ballads like “And I Love Her” to the rocking “Twist & Shout”!  The audience is treated to the witty banter that the Beatles are known for, with Liverpool accents  for  the true Beatles Experience!

Illunis

The winner of Valley Cultural Foundation’s Rock the Valley – Battle of the Bands 2020, Illunis was spontaneously forged when Sean Clark and Ali Faghihi combined musical forces in late 2015. Songs Sean had held secretly for years had gained a new life force with Ali’s unique vocal style. Throughout 2016 the acoustic duo hit the recording studio, played shows and developed the signature Illunis sound. In 2017, Illunis elicited Barak Levi for his diverse and creative lead guitar playing. The trio continued on honing their skills and worked as a songwriting trio to develop warm acoustic fingerpicked riffs, topped with tasteful and rhythmic lead guitar melodies, and a broad ranged authoritative vocal punch. In 2019, recruited David Collins Frankel as an eclectic multi-talented drummer and they were off to the races while Sean left. Illunis continually strives to push musical elements, create a dynamic listening experience, and positively impact the worlds of their listeners.
