Singer-songwriter Joe Beleznay wants you to remember two things:
1. his infectious acoustic pop/rock songs
2. the exact pronunciation of his last name.
All joking aside, Beleznay has been writing and performing his original music on the East coast for the past 4 years.
On board with Beleznay, handling drums and percussion, has been his long-time friend and collaborator, Tim Procaccini. Both CT natives, they have done their best to establish themselves as an honorable, original act among the throngs of cover band rejects.
They’re off to a great start, with over 170,000 plays on myspace.com, and a full length album due by Fall 2007. Beleznay’s smooth yet poignant mellow-rock sound has also caught the ears of his fellow musicians. He has had the opportunity to open for and share the stage with some great artists, including John Mayer, Matt Nathanson, Ari Hest, Angie Aparo, and Steven Kellogg.
Beleznay’s first ep, running to be gone, is currently available digitally all over the web, and his long-anticipated full-length album, never change, will launch in Fall 2007. Joe Beleznay is truly an artist to keep your eye on in the coming year. - (transcribed on electric typewriter by Spanky, Joe's Pekingese)
"Joe Beleznay is captivating. Its as simple as that. There is no glossy production with his songs just raw, honest, true music, and it is that rare prowess that makes this Connecticut-based singer-songwriter so distinctive. He creates music with such permanence and valor, gently fusing music into an expression of the words. This is evident on his recent release, running to be gone, a six-song EP of gallant measure and extraordinary proficiency." - (www.tunedinmusic.com)
