Bio
In a sea of rock, pop and folk that dominates the mass media, King Fez stands out as unique, innovative artists whose achievements show that we can be united amongst our diversity. With a blend of original and traditional music it's the band's intent to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western cultures while having fun. A favorite of the bellydance scene, the band has performed at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, R.A.N.T., the Polish Hill Arts Festival, the Twin Lakes Arts Festival, the St. Patrick’s Day Hafla, Bayardstown Social Club, Hard Rock Cafe, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, and at other performance venues throughout the Pittsburgh Metro. Formed in 2013, its members are Gigi Ke, electric violin; Frank Knezevitch, guitar; Hugh Watkins, bass; Mark DeFilippo, drums; Beth DeFilippo, riq; and David Hart, electric oud. All are veterans of musical groups across a diverse range of styles, from traditional Arab and Turkish to rock, folk, world music, classical and punk.
