The Aristocrats

About The Aristocrats

The Aristocrats are a renowned instrumental rock-fusion trio comprising guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Bryan Beller, and drummer Marco Minnemann, celebrated for their unique blend of jazz fusion, progressive rock, and progressive metal, often incorporating diverse elements from rock, pop, metal, and country. Over the past twelve years, they have established themselves as one of the most musically original, refreshingly irreverent, and astoundingly entertaining instrumental acts globally, known for their improvisational spirit and occasional Frank Zappa-esque nods. Their latest endeavor is the concept album *DUCK*, released on February 16, 2024, which tells the story of an Antarctic duck fleeing a penguin policeman to New York City. Coinciding with the album release, The Aristocrats embarked on the "DUCK World Tour," with legs across North America, Australia, Asia in 2024, an upcoming tour in South America in August 2025, and a long-awaited European leg in Spring 2026.
