Good news for fans of Joe SatrianiThe Italian-born guitar hero, beloved in our country, returns a year after his last performance for two dates in July. Joe Satriani will perform the 3 July in Rezzato (BS) at the Cascina San Giacomo, and 4 July in Grado (GO) at the Diga Nazario Sauro.
In May 2013, Joe Satriani released his latest solo album, 'Unstoppable Momentum". Recorded at the Skywalker Sound studio near San Francisco, the album was produced by Satriani and Mike Fraser (AC/DC) and contains eleven tracks featuring first-class musicians such as Vinnie Colauita (Sting, Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa, Megadeth) on drums, Chris Chaney (Janes Addiction) on bass and Mike Keneally (Dethklok) on keyboards.
After starting his career as a teacher of some of the leading guitarists of the 1980s and 1990s, such as Kirk Hammet of Metallica e Steve Vai, Joe Satriani has been recognised universally as one of the most influential rock guitarists since the 1987 release of his debut album 'Surfing with the Alien'.
Since then Satrianiquoting Jimi Hendrix as his main influence, consolidated his reputation as a six-string phenomenon: Mick Jagger chose him in 1988 to accompany him around the world on his first solo tour, and the Deep Purple called him to play with them in Europe and Japan in '95. After releasing several acclaimed solo albums, in 1996 Satriani started the project G3and embarked on a series of sold-out tours to the four corners of the globe alongside Steve Vai and Eric Johnson.
In 2009 he joined Sammy Hagar e Michael Anthony of Van Halen and to Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers to form the Chickenfootwith whom he released his eponymous debut album, which was followed by 'III"of 2011.
