JOE SATRIANI AND STEVE VAI Announce Debut SATCHVAI Album 'The Sea Of Emotion', Share 'Mayhem' Single
The album features mostly instrumental tracks and guest vocalist Glenn Hughes, with the title suite tracing the pair’s early lessons and long friendship.
- Guitar virtuosos Joe Satriani and Steve Vai announced their debut studio album, The Sea of Emotion, releasing November 6, 2026, via earMUSIC, alongside the release of the blistering new single, 'Mayhem'.
- Dating back to 1973, the friendship began in Long Island when 13-year-old Vai started taking guitar lessons from his 17-year-old teacher, Satriani, spanning over 50 years of collaboration.
- The project expanded from a single track after Satriani sent Vai two finished pieces, prompting the pair to enlist longtime collaborators including rhythm section members Gregg Bissonette and Kenny Aronoff.
- Tracks such as 'Bronco Freight Train' and 'Old Sins Have Long Shadows' showcase the album's diverse range, featuring legendary singer Glenn Hughes on 'I Wanna Play My Guitar.'
- Satriani notes, 'It illustrates just how far we've come,' while Vai describes the project as an intimate musical coming together, representing something more personal than a meeting of two guitarists.
