As previously reported, Satriani, who’s a member of the Sammy Hagar-fronted supergroup Chickenfoot, has formed a power trio especially for the 2019 Experience Hendrix Tour. It includes King’s X singer/bassist dUg Pinnick and longtime John Fogerty drummer and renowned session musician Kenny Aronoff.

Special guests will also make appearances, including Taj Mahal, Eric Clapton guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, and members of Los Lobos.
