The Art Rockers + Band in Ventura, CA

ABOUT

The Art Rockers are a uniquely eclectic group of artists/musicians. Dynamic vocals and powerful guitar solos, with an occasional touch of psychedelia, define this exciting band's musical flair. Their repertoire includes their own original alternative rock and idiosyncratic interpretations of vintage and contemporary rock.

Making art and playing music have a lot in common. Since the inception of rock music, numerous musicians and bands have emerged from the "art school" tradition. The Beatles, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Pete Townsend, Brian Ferry, Joni Mitchell, Ronnie Wood, Patti Smith, and Eric Clapton are all prime examples of art-school rockers. The Art Rockers band was originally formed in 2011 by a group of artists/musicians in a university art class. During the past few years, the Art Rockers have evolved into an active, committed California band and continue to write and perform new original songs. This band is truly a combination of art meets music, hence the name "Art Rockers."

Art Rockers music is available on iTunes.
