Electric Light Orchestra tribute at Spencer July 20

The Ultimate ELO Experience will perform at 8 p.m., July 20, at the Spencer Theater north of Ruidoso.

The group shares The Electric Light Orchestra’s ambitious and irresistible fusion of Beatlesque pop, melodic rock and classical arrangements in ELO classics like “Don’t Bring Me Down,” “Xanadu,” “Shine A Little Love,” “Evil Woman,” “Telephone Line” and “Strange Magic."

The exhilarating ELO concert re-creation features a band of 16 musicians: lead vocals, supporting female vocals, two guitars, two keyboards, a drummer and bass player plus an eight-piece string section and a light show, according to information from the theater about the show.
