Satchvai release new single “Dancing”

Legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai return today with the Satchvai Band, their brand new single, “Dancing“, now available via earMUSIC, along with a highly entertaining new video directed by Satriani’s son, ZZ Satriani. Musically, “Dancing” is a reworking of a song by iconic Italian singer, pianist and songwriter Paolo Conte and showcases the Satchvai Band at its most powerful.

A lively and melodic conversation between two of the most expressive voices in the guitar world. Built on momentum, melody and fearless musical chemistry, the track captures the spirit of spontaneity and joy that characterised their electrifying European tour.

The release arrives as the SatchVai Band prepares to bring their “Surfing With The Hydra” 2026 U.S. Tour stateside for the first time. Launching April 1st in Seattle and running through May 30th at Wolf Trap, the tour follows a celebrated European run that included stops in London, Paris, Copenhagen, and festival appearances at Hellfest, Umbria Jazz Festival, and Guitares en Scène. Support on all dates will come from progressive metal innovators Animals as Leaders.

On the Surfing With The Hydra Tour, fans can expect a full-band, high-energy performance featuring more new material from the forthcoming SatchVai Band album alongside iconic favorites from both artists’ catalogs.

“Dancing” follows the duo’s previous releases, including the cinematic instrumental “The Sea of Emotion, Pt. 1” and the anthemic “I Wanna Play My Guitar,” featuring powerhouse vocals from Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple and Black Country Communion.
Together, these tracks preview a collaboration that is decades in the making. Despite nearly 50 years of friendship, the SatchVai Band marks the first time Satriani and Vai have formally united in a shared group — alongside Aronoff, bassist Marco Mendoza, and guitarist Pete Thorn — forging a live experience built on virtuosity, friendship and fearless creativity.
