About The Aristocrats

Formed in 2011, The Aristocrats are a supergroup comprised of three of the most respected and innovative musicians in the contemporary music scene: guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Bryan Beller, and drummer Marco Minnemann. Their genesis was as organic as their music, stemming from casual jam sessions and a shared desire to push the boundaries of instrumental music. Govan, a celebrated guitar virtuoso and educator, is renowned for his fluid technique, melodic sensibility, and encyclopaedic knowledge of musical styles. Beller, a fixture on the international jazz and rock circuits, has collaborated with a veritable who's who of musical giants and is celebrated for his articulate, driving bass lines and innovative approach to the instrument. Minnemann, a drummer of astonishing polyrhythmic dexterity and creative flair, has lent his percussive genius to countless acclaimed artists and projects.

The band’s musical style is a dazzling confluence of genres. While firmly rooted in progressive rock and fusion, they effortlessly weave in elements of blues, funk, metal, and even classical music, all delivered with a playful, almost theatrical sensibility. Their compositions are characterised by intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, soaring melodies, and breathtaking instrumental solos. To date, The Aristocrats have released five studio albums: The Aristocrats (2011), Culture Clash (2013), Tres Caballeros (2015), You Know What...? (2019), and The Devil Went Down to Jam (2023), each a testament to their continued evolution and creative synergy. Their live performances are a testament to their collective genius, showcasing not only their individual virtuosity but also their remarkable ability to communicate and improvise seamlessly, creating a dynamic and captivating sonic journey for every attendee.
