Joe Satriani to play Dublin

He'll play Vicar St. on May 23, as part of a worldwide tour in support of his forthcoming new studio album, due to be released in April.

In addition to his solo career, Satriani has forged an impressive reputation as a guitar teacher, guiding such luminaries as Kirk Hammet and Steve Vai early in their careers.
