Bryan Beller has maintained a multi-‐faceted career as a bassist, composer, writer and clinician for over 20 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 a part of the hottest new act in rock/fusion today; their latest release Tres Caballeros (2015) dropped jaws around the world. Beller has been Joe Satriani’s tour bassist for both the Unstoppable Momentum (2013-‐14) and Shockwave (2015-‐16) world tours in addition to featuring on the Shockwave Supernova record. He was Steve Vai’s choice for the 2009 live CD/DVD Where The Wild Things Are and is also in the "band" Dethklok, a tongue-‐in-‐cheek extreme metal band borne of the hit "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. He’s been a musical partner of freak/genius guitarist Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa) for over 17 years and 10 albums. 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. His first instructional DVD, Mastering Tone And Versatility, was released by Alfred Publishing in early 2012, and he’s a featured artist on the instructional website Jamplay.com. As a pure player, a masterclass clinician (sponsored by Mike Lull Basses, Gallien-‐Krueger Amps & D’addario Strings), a former Contributing Editor for Bass Player Magazine, and a former VP of SWR bass amps, Beller brings a global perspective to the world of bass. www.facebook.com/bryanbellerbass · On Twitter: @bryanbeller
