Inspired by many different forms of art my entire life, recently I have channeled my creativity through abstract painting and photography.

My paintings are unique expressions, thick with texture and deep with color. Made using my hands, sponges, assorted household objects, and sometimes even the traditional brush, I enjoy creating works that illustrate aspects of my somewhat unique, often unpredictable, and always colorful personality.

International Graduate University (IGU) invites geeks and preps alike to rock along with our original songs of the indie-pop variety.

IGU's Test Prep Fun Fact: First Lady Dolly Madison actually burned down the White House in 1812. She was trying to make a hot pocket when she set fire to the kitchen. President Madison immediately declared war on England to cover up his wife's embarrassment.

IZZ has performed at numerous venues and festivals including, ProgWest 02, Rosfest 04, Prog in the Park 04, CalProg 04/05, Progday 02/06, and NEARfest 07. IZZ released their fourth and most recent studio album, My River Flows, to rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

IZZ’s musicians are talented multi-instrumentalists and adept at multi-part vocal harmonies. Lead vocals are shared between the Galgano brothers (Tom and John), while the percussion duties are split in a decidedly unique way: Greg DiMiceli plays an acoustic kit while Brian Coralian uses his various acoustic and electronic percussives to accent and enhance the rhythmic structure of IZZ’s tunes. The result is a fascinating palette of sounds and a bold statement in a genre where fans and musicians too often cringe at the thought of any kind of electronic percussion. Guitarist Paul Bremner brings his own emotional, virtuosic guitar work into the mix and along with John on bass and Tom on keyboards, round out the instrumentation. The stunning voices of Anmarie Byrnes and Laura Meade on lead and backing vocals complete the unique IZZ sound

IZZ’s live performance at NEARfest, the largest progressive music festival in the United States, is sure to be welcomed by IZZ’s ever-growing international following and those who are new to one of progressive rock’s most exciting live bands.
