Bryan Beller Picks The Essential Mike Keneally
Bryan Beller shares his 10 Essential Mike Keneally songs. Originally connecting in Dweezil Zappa’s band in the early 90s, Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats) and Mike Keneally have been longtime friends and collaborators in various bands (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, G3, Dethklok) and on each other’s work for 25+ years. The music of Mike Keneally is creative, progressive, versatile, introspective, layered, adventurous, humorous, emotionally powerful, and musically brilliant. Bryan walks us through his list of Keneally song selections, sharing memories of recording and performing these songs, why he chose the songs he chose, and offers wonderfully detailed musical and technical insight.
Excellent! I’ve been witnessing all forms of Keneally at the Baked Potato for many, many years. It is always a great, fun and mysterious adventure.

Mike Keneally is possibly the closest thing we have to Frank in this generation of musicians and thinkers.. All the connections and musical capabilities to create radio friendly music..but always following his own creative path and we are grateful… I’m still hoping someone in Australia has the means and can generate enough interest to have Mike, Yourself, and the rest of BFD tour here. Though I should make a visit to the Baked Potato someday… Great song choices by the way..though my 2nd choice from Dancing would most definitely have been ‘we’ll be right back’ – more because personal taste than anything…a great album…
