Santana at Shoreline Amphitheatre

Carlos Santana is smooth personified. His mad guitar skills are not of this earth. This rock god has blessed our musicscape with guitar-driven songs that will never die; certified timeless, everlasting hits. His staggering impact in music is marked by milestones, and this is the perfect time to celebrate not one, but two of his most important breakthroughs that shaped the course of music. One –the 20th anniversary of the release of the Grammy Award-winning album Supernatural. Two –the 50th anniversary of the legendary band’s performance at the 1969 Woodstock music festival. How could anyone top that?

Carlos Santana looks back with gratefulness and explains: “Both were monumental moments in my life. Woodstock and Supernatural took me to places I never dreamed were possible. I embraced those incredible moments in my life with all my heart. Both were supreme lessons in maintaining focus, heart, and integrity in every step every day and to strive to better oneself with a high standard on and off the stage. I cannot think of these two moments without thinking about Mr. Bill Graham and Mr. Clive Davis. They are two of many angels in my life that helped shape my career.”

So what could his multitude of followers expect from this nine-time Grammy Award, three-time Latin Grammy Award winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and Rolling Stone's 20th greatest guitarist of all time?

“We’re always moving forward, and we have incredible new songs and melodies that will inspire you,” Santana said in a statement. “I feel like a 20 year old on stage playing with this band, and they deliver on every song. When we hit the stage, we know we will touch your heart and make you dance, sing, cry, laugh and leave your baggage behind.”
