(Los Angeles, CA)—Multi-platinum
guitarist JOE
SATRIANI announces plans to kick off the second leg
of his “Evening With” Tour in support
of his latest release, Strange Beautiful Music, beginning
on January 29th in Reno, NV and wrapping up in Albuquerque,
NM on February 7th. This upcoming venture will also
include a 2- night engagement at San Francisco’s
famed venue, The Fillmore, where SATRIANI recorded
his critically acclaimed, gold-certified DVD “Live
In San Francisco” in December 2000. With 12
previous Grammy nominations already under his belt,
SATRIANI was honored for the 13th time with a nod
for “Best Rock Instrumental Performance”
for the song Starry Night when nominations were announced
earlier this week. This latest achievement comes directly
on the heels of the recent announcement by the San
Francisco Chapter of the Recording Academy (NARAS)
in which SATRIANI will be awarded the Governors' Award
for Creative Excellence and Outstanding Achievement’
in a ceremony to take place on February 9th. SATRIANI
has released an amazing catalog of 8 full-length albums
and 1 EP spanning his thriving 15-year career. He
first gained commercial success in 1987 with the break-through
album, Surfing With The Alien, and to date he has
sold an astonishing total of 7-million albums worldwide,
a remarkable accomplishment for any artist. In August
2002, SATRIANI’s exceptional talents were honored
when he was named the #6 greatest guitarist of all
time by English guitar magazine Total Guitar, finishing
just behind legends like Hendrix, Clapton and Page.
Last Summer also saw the popular “G3 Live in
Concert” DVD featuring SATRIANI’s collaborative
efforts with Steve Vai and Eric Johnson on their 1996
trademarked tour, go platinum. SATRIANI has also contributed
a track to the first studio album in over 30 years
for influential 1960s British rockers the Yardbirds,
which is set for release this April. This Spring’s
“Evening With” Tour will showcase SATRIANI’s
music in an intimate 2-? hour set featuring song selections
spanning his entire recording career.
