Guitar legend Steve Vai has checked in with a Christmas message for his fans:

“Hey folks, me again. I want to wish you all a peaceful, and fulfilling holiday season. It certainly has been here at chez Vai.

This year was another mother-load with the release of Inviolate and how amazingly well it was received, phewww! There was…

 * Inviolate release

 * Patreon content

 * Another shoulder surgery

 * Prepping orchestra scores and recordings in Holland and Finland

 * Tour prep and our notorious but rewarding European tour

 * Our very nice Vai Camp

 * South America Rock in Rio with Living Color

 * Outstanding peak American tour

 * And this friendly message

I feel so honored for your support through all this. You humble me. I have no words for my appreciation of you. And now I’m inspired for 2023!

And here’s my Holiday message: Happiness is an inside job. 

Happy Holidays. I see you, and I love you.”#

Steve Vai and Favored Nations / Mascot Label Group recently announced the release of Vai / Gash digitally and on CD on January 27. The vinyl album release will follow on February 24.

Vai has checked in with a new video revealing the origins of the album.

An abbreviated synopsis of the anecdotal history and fond remembrances as articulated by Vai in the liner notes offer detail on singer Gash and his deep connection to Vai. From his teenage years on Long Island, to today, he has openly shared his love of motorcycles. Gash shared that passion.

After three decades, Steve Vai has finally shared this master with The World. In his opinion, “He would have absolutely been the greatest rock lead singer you would ever want to know. All the elements were in place, but he was gone. Disheartened, I put the entire project on the shelf, and would listen to it at least once a year for the past 30 years, especially around the anniversary of his passing. Then recently something compelled me to want to put it out now.  I wish you would have had a chance to get to know John. I believe you would have loved him just as we all did. For now, he is ‘In the Wind’.”
