CARLOS SANTANA ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICA ‘BLESSINGS AND MIRACLES’ TOUR DATES

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Carlos Santana today announced he is hitting the road with his band across North America this fall for the Blessings and Miracles Tour. The 15-date trek kicks off on Saturday, September 11 in Atlantic City, NJ and includes a stop at Orlando’s Amway Center on Friday, September 17. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 18 at 10 a.m.

Santana will perform high-energy, passion-filled songs from their 50-year career, including fan favorites from Woodstock to “Supernatural” and beyond. The band, featuring Santana’s wife, Cindy Blackman Santana, on drums, will also debut incredible new songs from their much-anticipated upcoming full-length album entitled “Blessings and Miracles.”

For more than five decades, from Santana’s earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion band in San Francisco, Carlos Santana has been the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres and generational, cultural and geographical boundaries. To date, Santana has won 10 Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammys, with a record-tying nine Grammys for a single project for 1999’s “Supernatural” (including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for “Smooth”). He has received the Billboard Century Award (1996), was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998), earned the Billboard Latin Music Awards’ Lifetime Achievement honor (2009), and was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors Award (2013). Santana has earned myriad distinctions, including recognition by Rolling Stone as #15 on their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” Additionally, he joined the Rolling Stones as one of only two bands to have an album reach the Top 10 in every decade since the 1960s. In 2018, he released his first MasterClass and recently celebrated three epic milestones—the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking album “Supernatural,” the 50th anniversary of his legendary performance at Woodstock, and the 50th anniversary of his masterpiece “Abraxas.” His most recent album, the powerful, energy-infused “Africa Speaks” (2019), inspired by the sounds and rhythms of Africa, was called his “best record in decades” (NPR) and was ranked among “the fiercest albums in Santana’s 50-year career” by The New York Times.

Santana is also currently headlining a multi-year residency at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, with new dates beginning August 25, 2021, and additional dates in November and December of 2021. For more information, please visit https://www.santana.com/.
