For over three decades, the guitar virtuoso has traveled the world, playing to sold-out crowds as both a headliner and as founder of the all-star “G3” guitar extravaganza.  Satriani’s studio and live recordings have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide to date and of his many solo albums, two have gone platinum and four others went gold, with 15 Grammy nominations between them.  His side project, Chickenfoot, featuring former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar, former bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith saw their debut album certified gold and their second studio album debuted at #9.

On April 8, Satriani will release The Elephants of Mars marking the legendary guitarist’s 19th studio album in his 35+ year career in music. The critical acclaim for the new album continues with Guitarist Magazine calling it, “A multi-layered delight from start to finish” and Guitar World exclaiming, “An undeniably cinematic new album…” Satrani fans agree - the video for first single, “Sahara now boasts over 1 million views since its release just a few weeks ago!

In 2020 with all time constraints removed, The Elephants of Mars 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.”

Satriani’s touring band is Kenny Aronoff (drums), Bryan Beller (bass) and Rai Thistlethwayte (keyboards).
