Twenty6 Productions Presents: Too Many Zooz: Caravan Tour at Town Ballroom w/ special guest Cejan on Saturday, December 13th!
Too Many Zooz
Self-described "Brass House" trio Too Many Zooz make manically kinetic instrumental music that combines avant-garde jazz, EDM, punk rock, and sundry other traditions into their own distinctive brand of high-energy dance music. A viral sensation since they first emerged as New York subway buskers in 2013,
Too Many Zooz have evolved into a globally recognized phenomenon who tour often and produce YouTube videos that have garnered millions of views.
Formed in 2013 in New York City, Too Many Zooz features the talents of baritone saxophonist Leo "Leo P" Pellegrino, trumpeter Matt "Doe" Muirhead, and drummer David "King of Sludge" Parks. Pellegrino and Muirhead initially met while students at the Manhattan School of Music where they studied jazz. They eventually joined forces with percussionist Parks, whom Pellegrino had played with in a separate busking outfit. They began playing live at various New York subway stations and quickly attracted crowds with their aggressive instrumental sound and Pellegrino's ability to dance and hype the audience like a DJ while playing. In 2014, a video of the band went viral and helped set the stage for the group’s meteoric rise.
In 2016, the trio released their debut full-length album, Subway Gawdz, which featured guest spots from Kreayshawn, Armani White, members of Galactic, and Beats Antique. That same year they were featured on Beyonce’s Lemonade album, and performed with Beyonce and The Dixie Chicks at the CMA’s.
Over the course of the next several years, Too Many Zooz continued to release EP’s and singles – including ZombiEP (2019), a concept album about a fictional band playing a music festival during a zombie outbreak, plus collaborations and remixes with The Floozies, Beats Antique, Spencer Ludwig, Moon Hooch, Dot Cromwell, Nitty Scott, Lester London, and RoRo.
All of that set the stage for the band’s 2024 sophomore album Retail Therapy – a 13-song chronicle of auditory subway cinema that features appearances from Moon Hooch, Thumpasaurus, Lucky Chops, and Too Many T’s.
Clejan
“If there was a poster child for every young violinist who secretly wishes they could forgo Bach for Eminem, Clejan (pronounced Clayjj-on) is their man. The classically trained violinist is breaking down barriers to become one of the premier violinists in the hip-hop/ Trap space. 
Like a good boy, he did what his parents wanted and played what was placed in his hands at the age of 3. But 12 years later while living in Atlanta, Clejan got a taste of a musical genre he couldn’t shake. Trap music- born out of Southern Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap. The name refers to a place where drugs are illegally sold and was as far from Mozart as could possible be. He loved it. Fueled with a desire to create, backed by years of rigorous discipline, Clejan started to blend what he learned as a classically trained violinist with hip-hop. Calling himself ‘The Trap Violinist’, Clejan, who began writing his own original songs at the age of 10 and released his first hip-hop project at 17, now has over 10 million views on TikTok for his violin cover of Trick Daddy and Lil Jon’s ‘Lets Go.’ 
But covers are just one aspect of what Clejan does. His original songs have an intense rhythm and power all on their own, and have garnered millions of streams across the world. Its not surprising that his stage name (which is also his last name) was inspired by “Clejani”, a small town in Romania known for being home to the world-renowned gypsy musical group, Taraf de Haidouks, which has produced several famed violinists. 
Clejan’s own genre of ‘Trap Violin’ takes inspiration from artists like Lindsey Stirling and the late Pop Smoke. But the source of his talent goes deeper. His energy, passion and sheer talent is in his blood, much like the musically-inspired Balkan gypsies. Listen carefully. It will stir your inner fire.”
