Two guitar icons on one stage: sparks will undoubtedly fly when Joe Satriani teams up with Steve Vai. They’ll obviously play their new “Dancing” single and their band with drummer Kenny Aronoff, bassist Marco Mendoza and guitarist Pete Thorn is terrific. The opening act is Washington DC’s Animals As Leaders (all-instrumental prog-metal). Satriani says their new music “really captures the playful side of what Steve and I discovered on stage together last summer — that push-and-pull of melody and energy.” Vai says, “This band thrives on surprise — musically and visually. It’s melodic but relentless.”
