As a Grammy award-winning guitar virtuoso with career sales of over 15 million records, Steve Vai’s sheer breathtaking facility on the guitar is acclaimed in the rock world and beyond. Starting with his groundbreaking “Passion and Warfare” album in 1990, and throughout the years since, Vai has consistently used music as a microscope peering into the human spirit. While Vai clearly gained indelible experience during his stays with Frank Zappa and David Lee Roth, it’s as a solo artist that he’s made his most unique contributions. Each of his solo releases are distinct, compelling, and even when looking darkness square in the face, genuinely uplifting. His latest CD and DVD release, "Where the Wild Things Are," is a major achievement from a musical alchemist of the highest order. In addition to his recording career, Steve is involved with many worthwhile organizations. He is a former Trustee for NARAS (National Academy of the Recording Arts and Sciences), maintains a scholarship program through Berklee School of Music, and works closely with his own Make a Noise Foundation, raising money for music education.
