Bryan Beller

Bryan Beller has maintained a career as a bassist, composer, solo artist and clinician for over 25 years, earning his rep as a uniquely talented yet supremely tasteful team player for instrumentally-minded artists.

Beller’s 2019 solo release – the progressive concept double album "Scenes From The Flood" featuring Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Guthrie Govan, Mike Keneally, Gene Hoglan (Dethklok), Ray Hearne (Haken) and more – was hailed by multiple outlets as an instant classic: “A colossal artistic statement and a career triumph...one of the year’s most intriguing and staggering albums, it will for sure end in our 2019 best of lists.” (Scott Medina, Sonic Perspectives). His solo album catalog also includes 2003’s "View", 2008’s "Thanks In Advance", and 2011’s "Wednesday Night Live", all released to widespread acclaim.

Beller’s power super-trio The Aristocrats (with Guthrie Govan on guitar and Marco Minnemann on drums) is one of the hottest acts in rock/fusion today; their 2019 release You Know What…? debuted at #2 on the Billboard Jazz Chart. He’s been playing and recording with Joe Satriani since 2013 (including three world tours and two albums), and he was Steve Vai’s choice for the 2009 live CD/DVD Where The Wild Things Are. He’s also in the "band" Dethklok, a tongue-in-cheek metal band borne of the hit Cartoon Network "Adult Swim" show Metalocalypse. And he’s been a musical partner of freak/genius guitarist Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa) for over 20 years and 10 albums.
