SATURATE is a Joe Satriani instrumental tribute endorsed by members of Joe Satriani’s actual band. Based in Thousand Oaks, CA, the act delivers Joe’s signature guitar-virtuoso catalog with technical authenticity that has earned direct artist-camp recognition.
Joe Satriani is universally regarded as one of the greatest electric guitarists of all time: 10+ million records sold worldwide, 15 Grammy nominations, and a teacher to a generation of guitarists (Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Larry LaLonde of Primus, Alex Skolnick of Testament, David Bryson of Counting Crows). His “Surfing with the Alien” (1987) is one of the best-selling instrumental rock albums of all time, and his G3 Tour franchise has featured the world’s top guitarists.
SATURATE is endorsed by members of Joe Satriani’s actual touring band — a direct artist-camp credential that virtually no Satriani tribute holds. For an instrumental rock and guitar-virtuoso act, this endorsement is genuinely meaningful: it means the technical authenticity has been recognized by musicians who play alongside Joe himself.
Joe Satriani’s catalog is among the most technically demanding in instrumental rock. SATURATE is built specifically to deliver this technical complexity — the tapping, sweep picking, two-handed techniques, and signature melodic phrasing the originals require.
Joe Satriani is still actively touring, but instrumental-rock tributes that can credibly deliver his catalog with the required technical authenticity are exceptionally rare. SATURATE is one of the few credentialed options for buyers programming guitar-festival, music-education, and instrumental-rock event categories.
