Sample Music Tracks
Bellizia is a punkgrass, clown car, propelled by jet fuel.
They are a power trio led by the electric banjo of Jhon Bellizia (aka Sir Jhon), propelled by the heavy metal, double kick drumming of Timothy Todd Cook, and bedazzled by the prog-rock wizardry of bassist Jayson Tomlin.
Quotes:
"Bellizia is to banjo music what Primus is to rock music." DJ Shaman Noodles
“I've never heard a banjo sound like that!” Someone at every single show
“Bellizia's style of punkgrass is different... and different is good.” Martin Atkins of Tour Smart, NIN, Pigface, P.I.L.
"I was at the bar next door when I heard the music, and I was drawn to check it out. Super cool, I dig it!" Lyndsay Pruett of the Jon Stickley Trio
Bio:
Bellizia is shattering expectations with a sound that is as innovative as it is captivating. The band is built around the distinctive songwriting of Jhon Bellizia and his revolutionary use of the electric banjo. The music remains riveting and highly entertaining while simultaneously pushing boundaries.
Jhon’s banjo playing forges a unique sonic space that creates a meeting point between Earl Scruggs and Jimi Hendrix. Building depth into the band's sound is bassist Jayson Tomlin, whose melodic, prog-rock-inspired bass lines provide both power and sophistication. Drummer Timothy Todd Cook completes the trio with thunderous double-kick rhythms and a heavy-metal edge, producing a dynamic foundation that drives the music forward. Atypical vocal harmonies complete the genre-defying sound that captivates audiences at every performance.
It's not uncommon to hear reactions such as, "I've never heard a banjo sound like that!" or "I can't believe only three people are creating all that sound!" The band's electrifying stage presence and musicianship transform every performance into an unforgettable experience.
Currently, Bellizia is hard at work on their highly anticipated debut album. In the meantime, listeners can discover a collection of demo recordings on the streaming platforms. There are also several live show videos on Youtube that capture a glimpse of the energy that ignites every live show.
