About the Band:
Guitarist/keyboardist Michael Allen Moore is a long-time stalwart of the Detroit progressive rock scene, having recorded and toured in the ‘90’s with House of Usher and leading his own band Tin Scribble. He holds a degree in music from Wayne State University where he developed his skills in a wide range of settings including theater, dance, and world music. Michael’s home studio is the center of activity for BTT for writing, rehearsals, and recording. His energy and commitment to the band have been key to BTT’s success.
Vocalist Danny Grimm has performed with countless rock bands around Detroit for decades. He is a regular member of Detroit rock staples Frijid Pink and Mob Opera, filling bass and vocal roles in those bands. Belling The Tiger was Danny’s brainstorm, and his melodic instincts are a key component in the band’s compositional process and sound.
Drummer / percussionist Duane Harvey is a veteran of the Detroit and Chicago original music scenes but has been away from the professional music world for several years. Duane holds a Bachelor of Music from Wayne State University and has deep roots in jazz, classical, and a wide range of commercial music but has relatively little background in original rock. His work with BTT draws on all his musical background and has expanded it with the addition of electronics to his drum kit. You can learn more about dh (and hear more of his music) at his personal website, duaneharvey.net
•Bassist Andrew Harvey is a veteran of the no-wave and black metal scenes around the Detroit Area, having recorded as An Angel Submerged, Wraith, Anteomedroma, and as half of the duo Gossamer. Andrew grew up in a musical household (Duane is his father) and displayed strong musical talent from an early age. He plays several instruments in other projects but is focused on the bass with BTT.
•Guitarist/keyboardist Michael Johnstone has been playing guitar since 2011, covering a wide range of music from classical to jazz and rock . A graduate of Eastern Michigan University's music program, Michael plays regularly with multiple theater groups around the Detroit area. BTT marks Mike's first foray into original rock.
Together, Belling The Tiger plays melodic progressive rock that draws from myriad forms of music, including jazz, classical, and an eclectic mix of folk traditions from around the world. The band is firmly in the "prog" tradition without sounding like any other band you've heard before.
