An Italian-American native of New York state, Joe Satriani has released 11 solo albums, received 13 Grammy nominations and, sold in excess of 7 million albums worldwide and with his latest album PROFESSOR SATCHAFUNKILAS & THE MUSTERIAN OF ROCK due for release on April 5 and an imminent Australian tour - the countdown is on for all things Satriani!
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 as well as being hailed as one of the World’s Top Ten all time greatest guitarists!
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 last album Is There Love In Space is described by Satriani as his ‘rockin’ side’ and also 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 which wowed Australian audiences with sold out shows in 2006.
