Joe Satriani will return to the east coast for three special appearances this June to celebrate the release of both, his career-spanning box set, Joe Satriani: The Complete Studio Recordings and his first-ever autobiographical memoir, Strange Beautiful Music: A Musical Memoir.
The first of these three shows finds Satriani returning to his hometown, playing The Space at Westbury in Long Island on June 7th. This will be Satriani’s first appearance on Long Island in a number of years and the anticipation level is high. The following Monday, in honor of Les Paul’s 99th birthday, Joe and his band will perform a 2-hour concert at the Iridium in NYC, the home of Les Paul’s legendary, weekly performances for many years. This event will be recorded for a fall 2014 PBS TV Special called Front & Center. Lastly, Joe and the band will wrap their brief east coast run with a stop in Ridgefield, CT for a show at The Ridgefield Playhouse. Following these special engagements, Joe and his band (Marco Minnemann – drums, Bryan Beller – bass and Mike Keneally – keys & guitar) will head to Europe for a number of Festival appearances and other shows ending in late July.
Joe Satriani: The Complete Studio Recordings is the ideal audio accompaniment to Strange Beautiful Music: A Musical Memoir, Satriani’s autobiography coming out May 6th.

Already got my tickets for the CT show! Will be my first time seeing Joe live. Can’t wait. Cool as hell guy and amazing player.
I’ve seen Joe live several times, even met him once. You will not be disappointed, amazing player.
I saw this lineup in Atlanta last October; truly amazing. Mike Kenneally is also an incredible guitar player and sounds great w/ Joe. Don’t miss it!!
I too have seen Joe on several tours,as well as G3 w Petrucci/Gilbert and with Chickenfoot.Joe is both jaw dropping and breathtaking.For a shredder his music has so much depth and soul,unlike some other shred heads.I just picked up the box set and will try like hell to get tix for Iridium set,see him if you can and get Surfing with the Alien if you do not have it.Flying in a Blue Dream and The Extremist are also outstanding….Go Joe Go…
Saw Joe in Boston last year. Got some great photos of the Maestro in action!. Waiting for his book to come in the mail now. He was great on TMS last season.
At least is can finally see Satriani without that clown Hagar singing.
