John Petrucci - GRAMMY Award Winner, Guitar World Hall of Famer, and multi-publication Readers’ Poll Guitarist of the Year - brings his solo instrumental guitar performance on tour for the very first time. Featuring former Dream Theater bandmate Mike Portnoy on drums, and the legendary Dave LaRue on bass, the evening’s program includes tracks from John Petrucci’s Suspended Animation and long-anticipated, recently released follow-up, Terminal Velocity. Alongside special guests, Meanstreak, this night promises to be a can’t-miss celebration of guitar virtuosity and musical prowess.

Meanstreak is an all-female metal band from New York, formed in 1985 by guitarists
Marlene Portnoy and Rena Sands who along with bandmates Bettina France(vocals),
Martens Myung (bass), and Yael (drums), forged their way into male dominated
territory, becoming one of the first all-female thrash metal bands. With influences such
as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Metallica, they were true pioneers for women in
metal and recorded an album with legendary producer Alex Perialas at Pyramid
Sound in Ithaca, NY. Meanstreak’s 1988 release “Roadkill” put them on the metal
charts and landed them spots as the supporting act to nationally touring bands such as
Overkill, Manowar, Anthrax, Motorhead and others. They headlined shows at
legendary clubs such as L’Amour, The Cat Club, The Limelight, CBGB’s and The
China Club in NYC, as well as many other famed venues. Their album “Roadkill” is
considered one of the best female thrash metal albums of all time. They disbanded in
the early 90’s when the grunge scene took over and recently reunited bringing back
their hard hitting, melodic, heavy metal blend to the studio and stage in 2022.
Meanstreak will be hitting the road this summer and will be recording their unreleased
demos as well as some newly written material later in 2022.
