STEVE VAI SHARES “THE STORY OF LIGHT” LIVE TOMORROW EXCLUSIVELY ON AXS TV

Special live concert event with the Grammy Award-winning guitarist to be televised nationally October 12th

(October 11, 2012 – Los Angeles, CA) The Grammy award-winning virtuoso guitarist, visionary composer, and consummate producer Steve Vai will broadcast LIVE from Club Nokia in Los Angeles, California for one night only on Friday, October 12 exclusively on AXS TV.

As Steve Vai continues his North American tour to promote his new album, THE STORY OF LIGHT, this special live concert event gives fans a front row seat to see Vai’s lyrically resonant and technically masterful lead guitar, his licks and solos bending sounds and listeners’ minds in equal measure. The Story of Light follows the journey of a man driven mad by grief, intertwining tragedy, revelation, enlightenment, and redemption.

“I’m always pursuing knowledge, I’m a seeker of spiritual equilibrium—and music is a big part of that,” says Vai. “I’ve been obsessed with these kinds of ideas for years.”

AXS TV celebrates Steve Vai, THE STORY OF LIGHT, his 16th studio album, with this special night LIVE from Club Nokia, as the 15-million album selling artist takes the stage for a national television concert event.

“Our goal as a band is to give the best show we can so that when people leave, they feel good,” explains Vai.

This extraordinary live concert event with Steve Vai airs tomorrow, Friday, October 12th starting at 11:45pm ET / 8:45pm PT exclusively on AXS TV.
