Bryan Beller has maintained a multi-‐faceted career as a bassist, composer, writer and clinician for 20 years, earning a reputation as a uniquely talented yet supremely tasteful hired gun bassist for adventurous rock guitarists and singer/songwriters alike. Joe Satriani took Beller around the globe for his 2013 Unstoppable Momentum world tour, and he was Steve Vai’s choice for the 2009 live CD/DVD Where The Wild Things Are. His power super-‐trio The Aristocrats (with guitar phenom Guthrie Govan and drummer Marco Minnemann) is one of the hottest new acts in rock/fusion today; their latest release Culture Clash came out in 2013 and stood the genre on its collective ear. He’s also in the "band" Dethklok, a tongue-‐in-‐cheek extreme metal band borne of the hit Cartoon Network "Adult Swim" show Metalocalypse; Beller’s tracked on the last two Dethklok releases (Dethalbum III; The Doomstar Requiem) and has anchored the band for three nationwide tours to date, alongside Mastodon and Machine Head, among others. He’s been a musical partner of freak/genius guitarist Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa) for over 15 years and 10 albums. On his own, Beller’s released three rock/jazz fusion solo albums to widespread acclaim: 2003’s View, 2008’s Thanks In Advance, and 2011’s live CD/DVD Wednesday Night Live. As a pure player, a masterclass clinician, a former Contributing Editor for Bass Player Magazine, and a former VP of SWR, Beller brings a global perspective to the world of bass. www.facebook.com/bryanbellerbass · On Twitter: @bryanbeller
