The Art Rockers are a uniquely eclectic group of artists and musicians. Their repertoire includes original alternative rock and idiosyncratic interpretations of contemporary and vintage rock, often with a touch of psychedelia.

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, 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 California university art class. During the past few years, the Art Rockers have evolved into an active, committed 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."
