JOE SATRIANI tour 2013

JOE SATRIANI To Release Unstoppable Momentum Album In May; Tour Dates Scheduled





Guitar legend JOE SATRIANI checks in with the following update:


"Now that the asteroid has safely passed us by I feel it's time to
break my cyberspace-silence and let you all know what I've been up to
these last few months. After returning home from the last of three
incredible G3 tours, I got down to writing music for a new solo record. A
very prolific and cathartic two months followed resulting in a bundle
of new music I was very excited to get recorded.


With 16 of the songs selected for the project, all heading in
different directions and touching on a variety of musical influences, I
realized I needed to assemble a new studio band. The idea was to crank
up the energy level of the sessions, and allow for more individual
expression of the material, from each player. I pulled into Skywalker
Sound with Mike Keneally on keyboards, Chris Chaney on bass and Vinnie
Colaiuta on drums. The chemistry between these awesome players was
fantastic, and we blazed through all the tracks with everyone laying
down amazing performances.


On Valentine's Day I finally finished all the overdubs, reviewed the
tracks with engineer/producer Mike Fraser and started loading out of
the studio, elated! Now it's on to Vancouver, BC, to mix. The new record
will be called Unstoppable Momentum and should see a release date of
May 7th. I'm not sure how many songs will make it to the final sequence
as I still have a lot of work ahead of me in that department.


As you can see from the tour page we are gearing up to bring the new
music on tour starting in mid-May and continuing through 2013. My
touring band will consist of Mike Keneally on keys and guitar, Bryan
Beller on bass, and Marco Minnemann on drums. I'm so excited about
tearing it up on stage with this new band! See you out there on tour..."
