Joe Satriani – May 25, MTelus LiveEvents May 19, 2018 3039 Joe Satriani is the world’s most commercially successful solo guitar performer, with six gold and platinum discs to his credit and sales in excess of 10 million copies. His 16th studio album he released in January 2018 called What Happens Next, picked up rave reviews as yet another creative breakthrough. Satriani also worked as a guitar instructor, with many of his former students achieving fame, such as Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde, and Andy Timmons, just to name a few. With What Happens Next, Satriani asks his fans to join him in a new chapter. “I think the ultimate goal of human experience is for us to become closer,” he says. “It’s fun to write about science fiction and things like that, but it’s a little bit more difficult to get closer to people by writing about something that’s so abstract. So I focused on rock and soul as a way to recognize our shared experiences, our wishes, our dreams, our hopes and fears. This record is an invitation to get closer. That’s really what it is.” For tickets and information: www.mtelus.com 1-855-790-1245 MTELUS 59 St. Catherine Street East
