Hero

Angels of Mercy

Angels of Mercy is an indie rock band fronted by Rikki Lee Travolta and Joseph Broman. Their music harkens influences ranging from John Mellencamp and Neil Young to REM and U2. Based out of Chicago, Angels of Mercy produces radio-friendly, hook-infused music with mass appeal and themes ranging from patriotism to broken hearts. Joseph Broman is a multi-instrumentalist who was a founding member of the recording acts The Kranes and Elephant Gun. He appeared in theater, choirs, as well as concert-, jazz-, marching-, and pit-bands from elementary school to college. In addition to being a talented performer and songwriter, Joseph has also served as a choir director, church organist, and music instructor. Rikki Lee Travolta has appeared nationally headlining productions of such Broadway musicals as Rent, West Side Story, and Bye Bye Birdie. In fact, he was named in the press alongside Donny Osmond and Patrick Cassidy as one of the top three headliners in the world for the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. At heart, however, Rikki Lee always remained loyal to his upbringing on a healthy dose of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly as a child, and teen years basking in the influences of Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jon Bon Jovi, and Axl Rose. Rikki Lee’s solo album Broadway Live! Is the highest grossing album in the history of musical theatre specialty label Brahma Bull Audio Entertainment. Rikki Lee has also worked behind the scenes for A&M Records, Red Light Records, and Razor Records. Contact: PO Box 281, Woodstock, IL 60098. truthandjusticeentertainment@gmail.com
