                                                                                    Bio:

Bellizia is a high energy, prog-rock trio fronted by the electric banjo drenched in effects.  Their music wakes up audiences and shakes up the status quo.   

                                                                       Press Release:

The mountains of Western North Carolina draw people of all types to Asheville, a city known for music, art, and a more avant garde way of life.  Bellizia is a powerhouse trio of experienced musicians who have had extensive playing, touring, and recording experience, all arriving in Asheville for various reasons.  What brought them to the land of cackalacky isn’t as important as what keeps them here. 

Bellizia’s members, Jhon, Jayson & Tim, blend unexpected tones, melodies and rhythms into something else, something new….a novel, yet familiar sound.  Their unique musical voice cites influences from punk, metal, rock and prog with a splash of new wave and blues to create the musical gumbo of Bellizia.  Think banjo, just not banjo.
