Dark Beauty mixes elements of contemporary hard rock, classic progressive rock and opera to tell the dark, rich stories that burst forth from lead singer Liz Tapia’s mind.

The Members 

Liz Tapia is a lyric mezzo-soprano, whose smooth, warm, versatile voice adds multiple textures to the epic music she writes and performs. She draws influence from Anne Wilson, Linda Ronstadt and Inva Mula. Liz’s background in acting, production and musical theater all affect the musical scope and cinematic feel of her work. 

Bryan Zeigler is a founding member of Dark Beauty as lead guitarist and co-writer. He has been playing guitar for thirty years in mostly progressive, sometimes humorous, usually original bands. His guitar influences include David Gilmour, Ty Tabor and Steven Wilson, and he currently sings and plays guitar for prog-punk satirists Jaded Babies. 

Katie Pachnos is a classically trained keyboardist and electric harpist who has toured with progressive metal bands Fates Warning and Infinite Spectrum and performs as a guest instrumentalist for NYC-based prog and metal acts. When she is not playing live, she can be found creating split-screen electric harp covers of songs in the prog and symphonic metal genres. 

Drummer and percussionist Dan Granda performs regularly with several NY/NJ based orchestras. He has also performed with the NJ Symphony Orchestra, the NJ State Opera Orchestra and the Princeton Symphony Orchestra. He can also frequently be found playing for regional theatre productions throughout the US.
