The Wizards of Winter Music

The Wizards of Winter are an eclectic group of musicians from the Metro NY, NJ, PA region with strong Classical and Progressive Rock influences woven throughout their musical careers. One clear vision brought this group of talented performers together. That was to faithfully reproduce the music of the Trans Siberian Orchestra and present it in a more intimate setting. After their inagurral season, the dream has grown. The Wizards will be releasing their Christmas Rock Opera album later this year. Production is currently well underway.

The band started when current musical director/keyboardist Scott Kelly casually expressed his long time dream of putting together a tribute band based around the music of TSO to bassist Steve Ratchen. Steve immediately seized upon the idea and believed that he knew of other talented players that would quickly jump on the project concept as well. Together with long time musical associates, Michael Clayton Moore ( vocals) and Sharon Kelly ( vocals/flute) they began to bring the idea to life.
