Carlos Santana will be hitting the road for the “Supernatural Now” tour beginning on June 22, 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona. The just-announced tour is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of his Grammy Award-winning album, Supernatural, and of his performance at Woodstock 50 years ago.
“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,” said Santana.
““With Supernatural, I felt I had a masterpiece of joy in my heart,” added Santana. “While we were creating the album, I knew we were touching upon something inspiring and that we were creating music that was timeless, like Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On or Bob Marley’s Exodus. But no one was prepared for the Supernatural spiritual virus that moved across the world. The album touched little kids and grandparents and all points in between. I am very grateful to Clive Davis for helping me craft this seminal album that is still as relevant and infectious as the day it was released.”
Santana plans a 29 date tour spread out over three months. Stops will include San Diego, Chicago, Seattle, Detroit, and Boston. The tour will finish up on August 25th at the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York.
Fans can expect performances of Santana’s greatest hits including tracks off of Supernatural and songs from the Woodstock era. Santana will also be playing new songs off In Search of Mona Lisa, his new EP set to drop on January 25th.
“We’re always moving forward, and we have incredible new songs and melodies that will inspire you,” explained Santana. “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. The shows will be well balanced between the hits of yesterday, today and tomorrow…with energy!”
The Doobie Brothers will be joining Santana on all of the “Supernatural Now” tour dates. “We look forward to sharing the stage with Santana and have an incredible set lined up for audiences. It’s going to be a great tour,” stated The Doobie Brothers.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning January 25, 2019 via LiveNation.com.
