The true “Guitar God” is coming to South Florida! Joe Satriani comes to the Pompano Beach Amphitheater on Thursday, December 2nd in support of his new album Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards, due out this October. Ned Evett and Triple Double are also on the bill.
The reason you get to be a guitar hero would appear to be fairly obvious: Joe Satriani can do things on the instrument that most mere mortals simply can’t. He passed that test handily over 23 years ago when he released the multi-platinum Surfing with the Alien. Jaws were dropped, fists were raised and millions of music fans the world over picked up guitars both real and imaginary to celebrate and emulate a shred god who would continue to thrill and amaze, dazzle and delight. Making six strings scream and wail while flurries of notes dance into the heavens is all very well and good; making music that matters, and more importantly, sharing deeply personal emotions, that’s his true raison d’etre. On his 14th studio album, Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards, Joe Satriani exposes his soul in ways even he never believed were possible. Like its creator, Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards is an album that asks as many questions as it answers. But unlike most records where you know exactly where each song is going to go, it takes off in a multitude of dizzying, disorienting directions, probing the human condition and proving once again that Joe Satriani is one of the world’s most gifted and inventive instrumentalists and composers working today. Like the black swan, he’s a shape-shifter. Artists of his caliber don’t come along every day.
