Once two friends met, two musicians - Slava Shalygin and Sasha Yezhov. We met, talked and decided to start our own group. Assuming that she would be “ordered” to live for a short time, they gave the appropriate name. So, "A-minor" is a group that we ask you to love and favor!

Unpredictable fate decreed quite differently: "A-Minorovtsy" are still alive and well. And since the guys didn’t have much experience, they could also enjoy their performances at concerts with the participation of such well-known groups as Leningrad, Swing, Navigators. "A-minor" is a group in which they immediately decided on the genre. The musicians began to actively conquer the charts of radio "Chanson". And the albums of the group "A-minor" with enviable regularity delight fans with new compositions.

The Birth of A Minor: About the Founding Fathers

The founders of the team have different education: the adventurer Slava, for example, did without special training. Being at different times a fashion designer, and a locksmith, and a museum worker, having made a wide circle of acquaintances, sociable and open, he decided to say “Stop!” anddedicate yourself to music. Despite the only vocal lesson in his life, he is the author of many songs and arrangements.

Bayanist Sasha, the second founder of the group, received a serious education at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, and played in folk ensembles. His track record includes the title of laureate of various professional competitions and 1st place among international accordionists. It was his merit that the world learned: "A-minor" - a group with a major touch.

The collection is announced - everyone is in A-minor

Friendly and calm saxophonist Yegor Komarov is in this broken team "for the elder". Later than others, joining the team, he immediately set to work on the arrangements. Before "A Minor", Yegor performed in many city teams and clubs. Behind him, by the way, is a school named after him. Mussorgsky.

Guitarist Sergey Pavlov is also a graduate of this educational institution, a teacher of playing the guitar he adores.

Drummer Ketlik (Petya Ketlinsky) was seen in many rock bands before meeting with the "A-Minorovtsy", the last time he "flyed" with the St. Petersburg "Swing".

Double bass player Max Temnov also has his own special role in the life of the band. Being also a member of the famous "Leningrad", Max loves the stage and it is on it that he allows himself to be liberated and "break away". You listen and watch his stylish manner of playing with twists and turns with great pleasure.

In a word, A-Minor is a group of like-minded people with a glorious past and a promising future.

A-minor performances arealways "tasty and stylish"

"A-minor" does not pretend to be involved in the world of rock, although most of its members were once associated with it. In the world of modern music, the group attracts attention with its atypical repertoire. After all, the group decided to bring to life the idea of "re-singing" the entire Arkady Severny, Slava's favorite performer.

This choice helped the guys to become popular both in Russia and in Germany, France, Spain, Finland. The A-Minor group, whose concerts in the West are received with a bang, perform at various venues in their homeland and perform songs from the repertoire of chanson classics.

The program of performances of the “A-Minorites” includes the most famous songs of Dmitrievich, Severny, Berenson - “Murka”, “Girl in a Chintz Dress”, “Wait, Locomotive”. All of them are filled with the guys' drive and served to the public with "elegant chic".
