about

Degreed in 1993 by Berklee College Of Music at 22, Bryan immediately landed a gig with Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa’s tweaked rock project Z. Also in that band was one Mike Keneally, a true Frank Zappa band alumnus and freakishly talented guitarist/composer.

Keneally’s 2006 release, Guitar Therapy Live, is the musical culmination of his and Beller’s shared live experience. Beller’s well-rounded experience made him a natural session-ace choice for guitar legend Steve Vai, who tracked him on six albums (including the Grammy-nominated “Lotus Feet” from 2006’s Real Illusions: Reflections) before Vai tapped him for his own full-blown collaboration with the Metropol Orchestra. Beller joined Vai for the entirety of the resulting 2007 rock/orchestra CD/DVD Sound Theories, a tour-de-force of complex rock and modern classical genre-bending compositions. Beller soon joined Vai’s touring rock band on the worldwide String Theories tour, which played sold-out halls and t
