About
World-renowned guitar virtuoso, Joe Satriani has announced that his Earth 2022-Tour 2023 will make a stop at Atlanta Symphony Hall on November 7, 2022. Tickets for Joe Satriani: Earth Tour 2022-2023 go on sale this Friday, April 1 at 10am at Ticketmaster.com.

After being forced to postpone numerous tour dates over the last two years, Joe Satriani is more than ready to get back to live shows and playing for his legions of fans across the world. The U.S. leg of his worldwide tour will start on September 21, 2022 in Riverside, CA and continue through November 19 with a final date in the States in Dallas, TX. Satriani will then head over to Europe for rescheduled shows in early 2023.

Satriani is set to release his 19th studio album, The Elephants of Mars, worldwide on April 8, 2022 via earMusic.

The guitarist challenged himself to create a “new standard” for instrumental guitar albums to be measured against, one which would work from “a new platform of his own design,” as he terms it. “I want to show people that the instrumental guitar album can contain far more complexity of creative elements than I think people are using right now.”Satriani and his touring band, all recording remotely in separate areas of the world during lockdown, answered that challenge in spades. The Elephants of Mars crackles with an exciting new energy, briskly traveling through stylistic roads that feel freshly updated, viewed through new eyes. It’s one that, thanks to the pandemic and no constraints, truly represents the album that Satriani himself hoped he could deliver with his band. “We did everything. We tried the craziest ideas. And we entertained every notion we had about turning something backwards, upside down, seeing what could happen.”

His current band features celebrated drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Fogerty) bassist Bryan Beller (Aristocrats) and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte (Thirsty Merc) with Joe Satriani on guitar.

THE ELEPHANTS OF MARS
The legendary axeman is about to head out on tour, celebrating the release of his 19th full length album 'The Elephants of Mars'. The mammoth 44-date tour will see Satriani playing throughout the U.S. and Canada. The last time Satriani hit the road was back in 2018, four years ago! So fans all over are more than ready to see the four-piece including Kenny Aronoff, Rai Thistlewayte and Bryan Beller back doing what they do best.

THE MAN BEHIND THE AXE
Satriani started his music career as a guitar instructor before going on to tour with the likes of Mick Jagger for the latter's first solo tour, Brian May and Steve Morse during the Eighties and Nineties. When out of the recording studio or not touring he continues to keep his hectic work pace up by perfecting his own signature range of Ibanez guitars, the JS Series as well as his own distortion pedals.

Satriani is currently the lead guitarist for the group Chickenfoot, a hard rock band hailing from the USA and made up of several other rock icons including Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith. Citing major influences such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore and Jeff Beck, he has mastered a huge range of picking skills, and is famed for his prodigious skill in tapping, volume swells and legato, to name a few.
