SYDNEY, Auatralia (Sony
Music Australia) - What do Steve Vai, Metallica's Kirk Hammett and Larry LaLonde from
Primus all have in common? They all took lessons from guitar god Joe Satriani! Don't miss Satriani, one of the world's greatest guitarists, live around Oz this March. Tix on sale now.
Who has toured with Mick Jagger and Deep Purple, and appeared on albums by everyone from Alice Cooper to Spinal Tap and The Yardbirds?? That would be the one and only Joe Satriani - one of the most legendary, accomplished and respected guitarists in the world, who heads to Australia with full band this March for a series of unmissable shows across the nation!!
An Italian-American native of New York state, Satriani has released 11 solo albums, received 13 Grammy nominations, sold in excess of 7 million albums worldwide and came in at #8 in Guitar Player Magazine's Top 50 Greatest Guitarists Poll.
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Satriani (or Satch as he's fondly referred to), started his incredible guitar playing career at 14, and by the early '90's Satch was creating his own line of guitars for Ibanez!
Satriani classics include his debut release 'Not Of This Earth' and what is probably his best known - 'Surfing With The Alien' - the first instrumental guitar album to crack the Top 40 charts. His latest album 'Is There Love In Space' (out now) is described by Satriani as his "rockin' side" and showcases his relatively under-explored vocal chords.
In 1996 Satriani was a founding member with Steve Vai of the G3 tour, now one of the most anticipated guitar events on the world touring calendar.
Don't miss your chance to experience one of the world's greatest guitar geniuses at his peak - tix on sale now!
