Wakeley said, “Once again, I’m blessed to have such an amazing talent on my project. We all know what an incredible guitar player Satriani is, but he’s also a genius at creating melodic riffs throughout the song. His creativity brings my music to a whole other level and adds a dimension that garners a whole other segment of listeners. The magic of Satriani with the London Symphony is off the charts great.”
Satriani said, “Kitt’s unique alchemy is his ability to create modern, rocking orchestral music that stirs the soul and inspires the heart. Symphony of Sinners & Saints Vol II: The Storm is a crazy guitarist collaboration in disguise too! I’m honored to be in such good company.”
