\nJoin Rockland Center for the Arts for a concert with the distinct, colorful
\nmusic of Particle Theory, on Saturday, March 11th at 7:30pm.
\nSince the mid 90\u2019s, Gregg Terlizzi, Lee Baronian And Arthur Toufayan have
\ncreated some very distinct, colorful music that collaborates Middle
\nEastern, Jazz and Blue Grass. With timing changes and unique tempos as well
\nas the wonderful blend of percussion, mandolin, and guitar, this band has
\nformulated a unique sound second to none.
\nLee Baronian: acclaimed percussionist whose versatile musical style ranges
\nfrom Jazz to Middle Eastern to Rock to Bluegrass. He has performed with
\nworld-renowned percussionist Arto Tuncboyaciyan from the Al DiMeola and Joe
\nZawinul groups. He has also toured through Europe with Middle Eastern
\nfusion groups Taksim and Transition. Currently, he is the co-founder of the
\nband \u201cParticle Theory\u201d, a band in he describes as Jazz-grass fusion.
\nGregg Terlizzi: the co-founder of the band \u201cParticle Theory\u201d. His early
\nguitar influence was in rock music where he led two different groups \u201cSick
\nand Tired\u201d and \u201cThe Shredders\u201d. In his early 20\u2019s he discovered the sounds
\nof jazz great Wes Montgomery, which would later change his style of playing
\nand composing. As his jazz roots grew so did his interest in bluegrass
\nmusic. He began studying mandolin and listened to the masters such as Bill
\nMonroe, David Grisman, and Sam Bush. His unique style and diverse
\nbackground are the basis of the Particle Theory sound.
\nArthur Toufayan, heralding from a long line of Armenien heritage, was first
\nexposed to the style of Middle Eastern Music through his greatest
\ninfluence, his grandfather, Artin Toufayan. At the age of 4, Arthur began
\nspending much of his time alongside his grandfather either at the famous,
\nfamily owned Toufayan Bakery or while he plucked the oud, the short necked,
\nfretless 11 string lute like instrument. Drawn to the music, Arthur began
\ntaking guitar lessons at the age of 12 with interest in heavy metal then
\neventually the Grateful Dead and the whimsical sounds of Jerry Garcia\u2019s
\nguitar. From there, Arthur found himself engulfed in the styles of Django
\nReinhardt, Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Rick Neilson, Eddie Van Halen, Bob
\nMarley, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. He teamed up with John Siliato to form
\nWigjam, one of northern New Jersey\u2019s original Grateful Dead Tribute Bands
\nand soon after teamed up with Lee Baronian and Gregg Terlizzi to form the
\nband Particle Theory. Both bands continue to play throughout the tri-state
\narea.
