MESSAGE FROM JOE
Joe Satriani here,
checking in with some last minute pre-tour notes...
Big thanks to all the
fans who made last week's in-store run so much fun and successful. My hands
are finally recovering from extreme
handshake time! But, it was worth it. Special thanks to Rockline and all the
retailers that allowed us to take over their shops for a few
hours, especially West LA Music, who hosted our CD release performance right
across the street from their store.
We are all looking
forward to getting out on tour and making some history with a new set of
music... which reminds me, I haven't written
the set list yet!!! Your ideas are always welcome... Thanks for making
satriani.com so much fun... See you soon. Joe

RARE GUITAR AUCTION
FOR MUSIC IN SCHOOL CHARITY
JOE SATRIANI TO AUCTION
RARE GUITAR FOR MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAMS
RAFFLE TICKETS AVAILABLE
AT UPCOMING CONCERT STOPS
(Los Angeles, CA) - JOE
SATRIANI fans will have a chance to win a rare customized and autographed
Ibanez guitar, designed to commemorate the release of SATRIANI's 12th solo
album, Super Colossal, while also supporting music education. Beginning with
the first tour stop in Denver, CO and running throughout the last show in
San Francisco (April 1 - May 13), where the drawing will take place, fans
will be able to purchase raffle tickets for $10, giving them a once in a
lifetime chance to win. The prized guitar is one of only 10 Super Colossal
guitars made featuring the album's cover artwork. Proceeds from the auction
will benefit two school music programs - Little Kids Rock and Music In
Schools Today.
SATRIANI was recently announced as an Honorary Board Member for the Little
Kids Rock organization. Little Kids Rock restores music to
its rightful place in the academic lives of kids in our public schools by
providing a rich music education program including instrument instruction,
free instruments and trained mentors. Founded by an elementary school
teacher in 1996, Little Kids Rock has served more than 7,000 students in CA,
NY, NJ and TN. Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, B.B. King and Les Paul sit on our
Honorary Board of Directors and we are supported by friends Tom Waits,
Liberty DeVitto, Bob Weir and others.
Music in Schools Today (MuST) supports, develops and promotes music
education for youth in schools and in the community. Since 1983,
MuST has served public school grades K-12 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The
program is the Bay Area's answer to the crisis in music
education. Despite extensive research indicating that music instruction
supplies intellectual, emotional and physical components critical
to children's development, music and arts programs are often the first
victims of budget cuts. MuST combats this trend with a comprehensive set of
programs that are resistant to budget slashing. MuST serves over 10,000
children and youth annually in schools and
community centers, conducts research and development and advocates to
restore music as an essential principle of pre-K through 12
education.
This year marks SATRIANI's 20-year anniversary as a solo artist, his first
album, Not Of This Earth, was released in 1986. Over the
course of his illustrious career, SATRIANI has achieved huge success,
selling more than 10 million albums & DVDs worldwide with 12 solo
albums (2 platinum, 4 gold) and 3 platinum DVD's, as well as garnering 13
Grammy nominations.
