Bryan Beller
Oral History Information
Bryan Beller has maintained a multi-faceted career as a bassist, composer, solo artist and clinician for over 25 years, earning his reputation as a uniquely talented yet supremely tasteful team player for instrumentally minded artists. In the power super-trio The Aristocrats (with uber-players Guthrie Govan on guitar and Marco Minnemann on drums) he’s part of one of the most energetic and innovative acts in rock/fusion music. He’s been Joe Satriani’s touring bassist since 2013. Bryan was Steve Vai’s choice for the 2009 live CD/DVD Where the Wild Things Are, and he also toured and recorded with Dethklok. He’s been a musical partner of guitarist Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa) for over 20 years and 10 albums. On his own, Bryan’s solo album catalog includes several acclaimed releases. As a pure player, a composer, a masterclass clinician, a former Contributing Editor for Bass Player Magazine, and a former VP of SWR bass amps, Bryan Beller brings a holistic perspective to the world of bass, and music.
