Hey Folks,

The show in St. Petersburg Russia was wonderful. I was not exactly sure how the tracks with orchestra would be perceived but the audiences are being very generous and warm. This was shot from the car:

Here I am in the city of Minsk in the country of Belarus which is surrounded by Russia. I’m told this is the first Master class on guitar ever given in this country and one of the first performances from an American rock artist. This city is a stunner. So clean and spacious.

I took a long walk through the city center of Kiev in the Ukraine. It was a beautiful day and I found a charming little bistro for lunch. Most of the times when I’m on tour I like to escape alone and just explore.

The AGS Master Class in Kiev was held in an old castle. It was outdoors. Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of it but it was an incredible place. We had over 700 people at the master class. I’m now starting to formulate a tour of 12-15 cities of Russia for late spring of next year. It’s too good here not to come back soon with the rock band. Here is my Ukranian “A” Team:

Yesterday in Moscow..

Hey Folks,
I had one of the most memorable birthdays in my life on the stage with the EVO orchestra at Crocus City Hall in Moscow Russia on June 6, 2013.
The audience was very generous. At one point they all broke into Happy Birthday in Russian, I guess.
I got back to the hotel to find an inbox and Facebook full of warm wishes.
Many thanks to all who sent them.

This cake was filled with cream and cherries, Wow!
Peace, love and good happiness stuff.

In Moscow…

Hey folks,
Tomsk, and Krasnoyarsk Russia Alien Guitar Secrets classes were wonderful. Very packed with enthusiastic Russian friends.
Arrived in Moscow on the 5th and appeared on a TV show that reaches 80 million Russians. I was jamming with the host. It was really quite good fun.
Woke up today in Moscow on this June 6th day and was flooded with wonderful birthday greetings.
Don’t know why but I still love my birthday as I did when I was a little boy. Just feels good and tonight is the first show of the Evolution Orchestra tour here in Moscow, and I’m as ready as I have ever been.
Peace love and good happiness stuff.

Today is Steve’s birthday! Wish him a happy birthday message on the vai.com message boards here.

Although he will be busy performing with The Evolution Tempo Orchestra tonight in Moscow, Russia, Steve may just read each and every birthday message in the thread, as he is known to do.

Hey Folks,
Enjoying a 7 hour train ride on the “Trans Siberian Express” on our way to Novosibirsk Russia for a AGS master class.
Amazing to see the Siberian/Russian countryside this way. How people live, the landscapes, etc.

Igore and Vladimir, my backing band for the Siberian Master class. Cool guys and wonderful musicians.

One more in Siberia …..
