MESSAGE FROM JOE

My new album "Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards" is mixed, mastered and ready to go! It's got 11 new instrumental tracks featuring yours truly on guitars, with Jeff Campitelli on drums, Allen Whitman on bass and Mike Keneally on keys. I love this new record, and I know you will too!

There is a very cool CD pre-rder/concert ticket campaign as well, see below for more details of this cool option.

Our European tour kicks off in October, and our North American dates just went up too! We've got a new show planned, and will be taking requests from SATRIANI.COM, so, got to T2J and let us know what your favorite live songs are.

Last week I spent the day at Oakland Stadium with Brad Pitt and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. They're filming a movie called "Moneyball"
about the Oakland A's. I was asked me to re-create my 2002 season opener National Anthem for the film. It looks to be a very cool movie focusing on the A's executive Billy Beane. I dressed in 2002 gear, and even used my older equipment. All in the name of authenticity.

Chickenfoot's "AMPF" video is up and running at CHICKENFOOT.US, check it out! The band continues to write new material for Chickenfoot 2 using the new AMPF system... It's AMPFABULOUS!.

BRAD PITT MOVIE & NEW ALBUM PRESS RELEASE 

We always get questions for more details and so we want to let everyone looking for further info have a direct line to this press release that is hot off the presses that gives it to you in media-speak!

"BLACK SWANS AND WORMHOLE WIZARDS" PRE-ORDER / PRESALE PACKAGES!

We're are falling over ourselves here at SATRIANI.COM to let you know about the amazing new solo album that is coming out on October 5th.
We've also hooked up with our fine friends at Sony and have put together a very cool pre-order option that we think you'll dig.

The way it works is simple - pre-order the album today and get:

1) A code for exclusive pre-sale tickets for the fresh North American shows

2) A digital download of the first single "Light Years Away" from
the album before it comes out anywhere.

3) An autographed copy of the album

Unfortunately, this is only happening for U.S. residents, but fear not, we have plenty of other cool exclusive videos coming from the recording studio, and Club Joe continues to run through the upcoming dates (see the updated package descriptions below).

We've also revamped the Road section of SATRIANI.COM to make it a lot easier to see what's going on. Hop on over and check it out now!

Now then, read on for the latest on CLUB JOE:

A TYPICAL CLUB JOE EXPERIENCE:

Meet the road coordinator in the mid afternoon outside the venue, pick up the exclusive Club Joe laminate and enter the venue while the crew are setting the stage. You will be escorted to Joe's guitar world where you are invited to check out Joe's guitars, pedals,amp setup and take as many photos as you like. From there you will move to a private area where Joe will meet you and the other Club Joe fans. You will be free to ask Joe questions about any subject you wish (including his signature equipment, favorite guitars and guitarists and of course his hats!) and after the one on one session Joe will sign your items and join you for a photo taken by the coordinator. After Joe leaves you will be escorted to the merchandise booth to receive your exclusive merchandise and the road coordinator will draw one lucky pair of fans names to watch the show encore from onstage!
The club Joe experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time with Joe. Total time 60 - 90 minutes depending on number of fans.

For the upcoming European dates, CLUB JOE packages are available as upgrades *after you purchase a regular ticket*.

For the North American dates, they will be full packages that include tickets in the front rows.
