STEVE VAI's 'Stillness In Motion - Vai Live In L.A.' Due In April

February 19, 2015

Sony Music Entertainment and Legacy Recordings have signed virtuoso guitarist/composer/producer Steve Vai to a new multi-album agreement which includes plans to issue two fresh Vai sets in 2015 beginning with the release of "Stillness In Motion - Vai Live In L.A." on April 7.

Vai's first release under the new Sony/Legacy agreement will be "Stillness In Motion - Vai Live In L.A.", a spectacular performance recorded October 12, 2012 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Available in 2CD and 2DVD configurations, "Stillness In Motion" revisits the 49th concert from Vai's monumental "Story Of Light" world tour.

Running from 2012 through 2014, "The Story Of Light" world tour totaled out at 253 engagements (including shows, master classes and concerts with various orchestras) in 52 countries. In addition to the full Club Nokia performance, the 2DVD configuration of "Stillness In Motion" includes a bonus disc premiering "The Space Between The Notes (Tour Mischief)", a revelatory video diary comprised of more than three and a half hours of footage, lensed around the world on-stage, off-stage and behind-the-scenes during Vai's epic "Story Of Light" world tour.

"To say that this tour was a powerful life experience would be like saying the sun is hot," writes Steve Vai in his personal liner notes penned for "Stillness In Motion".

Following "Stillness In Motion", Sony/Legacy will release an album of new Steve Vai material, marking a significant next chapter in the musician's growing canon.

The new multi-album deal marks an Sony Music Entertainment homecoming for Vai, who set the gold and platinum standard for rock instrumental music across a series of albums released through Relativity and Epic from 1990's game-changing "Passion And Warfare" (his second album and first major label release) through 2007's orchestral "Sound Theories, Vol. I & II".

Vai will be hosting his second Vai Academy — the ultimate guitar experience — August 2- 6, in beautiful Vail, Colorado, at The Arrabelle at Vail Square. With the theme All About The Guitar set for this year, attendees will spend four days and nights discovering the intricacies of the guitar while enjoying once-in-a-lifetime clinics, workshops and jams from the likes of Vai and his handpicked guest instructors, including special guests Eric Johnson and Sonny Landreth. Musicians of all ages and levels are welcome.

Closing out the week of Vai Academy, Vai will headline Electric Day at Guitar Town on August 9 in Copper Mountain, Colorado, at The Village at Copper. The free annual festival will also include performances that weekend by Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Sonny Landreth, John Jorgenson and Andy McKee, among others.
