Steve Vai is a virtuoso guitarist, visionary composer, and producer who has awed fans of all genres for decades with his exceptional guitar skills and musicianship. At 12 years old, he started taking guitar lessons from Joe Satriani, and at 18 he began his professional music career transcribing for, and then playing with, the legendary Frank Zappa. During his more than 30-year career, he has toured the world as a solo artist, a member of G3, and with Frank Zappa, David Lee Roth, Alcatrazz, and Whitesnake. Vai holds honorary doctorates from Berklee College of Music and Musicians Institute, and was voted the tenth “Greatest Guitarist of All Time” by Guitar World magazine. In 2018 he received the BOSS Lifetime Achievement Award for his many contributions to the music world. With more than 60 albums and three GRAMMY Awards, Steve Vai is one of music’s true originals.
Ed O’Brien has been quietly astounding listeners for well over 30 years. As a guitarist and backing vocalist in Radiohead, he’s been responsible for many of the atmospheric sounds that permeate award winning albums such as OK Computer and Kid A. His recent work includes a solo album, and a fascination with the songs of birds and how they’re being lost in the noisy modern world. While maybe not as obvious as those of lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Thom Yorke or lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien’s contributions to Radiohead have been called “the band’s most consistent secret weapon.” Besides receiving numerous awards throughout the years, Radiohead was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2019.
Noveller is the solo electric guitar project of composer Sarah Lipstate. Since 2014, she’s released records on various labels including her own imprint Saffron Recordings. Sarah has collaborated with renowned musicians including Iggy Pop, JG Thirlwell (Foetus, Manorexia), Carla Bozulich (Evangelista, The Geraldine Fibbers), and Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth). She has previously performed as a member of Cold Cave, Parts & Labor, and One Umbrella. Noveller has toured with St. Vincent, Wire, Radiolab, the Jesus Lizard, and Iggy Pop, for whom she currently plays guitar. Guitar pedals are at the core of her sound.
Dub FX is Australian-born looping artist and songwriter Benjamin Stanford. He started his musical career singing in an alternative rock and rapcore band Never or Now (orignally known as Twitch), and then moved to Italy to begin a solo career. He creates hip hop, reggae, and drum and bass using live looping and effect pedals along with his voice. Through the years Benjamin has released several albums and collaborated with artists around the world, as well as starting his own label, while still appearing at worldwide festival venues releasing his raw vocal energy and energized beats.
Nick Reinhart is a legendary figure to guitar pedal enthusiasts, thanks to his role in many YouTube videos on the Pedals And Effects channel. With a wildly inventive outlook on live performance, he’s part of Tera Melos, and releases experimental solo albums. He’s worked with Zach Hill and in their band Bygones, contributed to bands like Big Walnuts Yonder with Mike Watt (The Minutemen) and Nels Cline (Wilco), and played with Portugal.
