Joe Satriani UK and European 2010 Tour Announced
Joe Satriani, who stormed into the music scene 25 years ago and is widely recognized as one of the greatest living guitarists, is spending October touring in Europe at a number of venues in the United Kingdom, France and Luxembourg. The tour coincides with the release of Satriani’s 11th studio album and his special guest in the UK will be the critically acclaimed Belfast-based blues guitarist Simon McBride.
Since his emergence in 1986 with a self-released, self-titled debut album, Joe has become the most recognizable guitar voice of his time, earning his place alongside the great masters of rock guitar. As an instrumental artist in a pop-dominated field, Satriani's accomplishments are even more remarkable: He is perhaps the most successful rock instrumentalist in recent history, selling millions of records and consistently packing concert halls - yet always preserving a strong musical vision, as well as the respect of fellow musicians and forward-thinking music fans worldwide.

Satriani's gift is creating highly evolved instrumental music, using the structure of popular standard songs that allows listeners to latch onto tuneful melodies before being dazzled by his acclaimed musicianship. His hallmarks are a warm, bluesy tone and delicate phrasing, combined with the bursts of superhuman technical facility which upped the ante well beyond the standards set by generations of great rock musicians before him.
