The music can be described as Funk, Jazz, n Reggae, all mixed with Progressive rock jams and crisp lyrical content. Art of Ill Fusion has headlined Winterfest, FusionFest, The Demoine music fest called The Briar Patch. Art of Ill Fusion also had their own two night stand for the 4th and 5th of July in Baltimore, MD all in the last year and continually look to branch out to more and more venues.

NEW NEW NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With several more shows under their belt, the focus has been on rehearsing their live show. They have acquired some of the highest touted musicians to ever play in the Central Illinois area. With the abrupt exit by James(Bass), they grabbed up Mike Lee of Freudian Press, Bonanza Jellybean/Rochness Monster fame. He has quickly become the rock foundation that the fusion Machine rides on. Brian Railey from Squib Potential on Percussion and vocals has also recently joined in the groove. Also they first had Rusty Hall, who has played with too many people to name, ..s and now Kim Thomas one of Rusty's musical offspring taking his place while he tours abroad with Benard Allison. The addition of these musicians, truly has made AIF an All-star line up and represents a complete time line of the Peoria music scene.
