Ray Belli is a New Jersey-born drummer who primarily performs with the experimental pop (???) band Arc Iris. He currently resides in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lives with two cats, two bandmates that resemble cats, and a girl with purple hair who is allergic to cats. He also performs and records as a freelance drummer throughout New England and the Tri-State Area.
He is available for hire as a Jim Morrison impersonator at your next party as long as the price is right and the catered food is vegetarian and onion free.
