Carlos Santana has announced he will hit the road with his band across North America this summer for the “1001 Rainbows Tour.” Throughout, “Santana will perform high-energy, passion-filled songs from their 50-year career, including fan favorites from Woodstock to Supernatural and beyond.”
Santana will wrap up the “Blessings And Miracles Tour” at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on May 4th followed by dates in Dallas and Houston, Texas before kicking off the “1001 Rainbows Tour” at Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center on June 21st. The 14-date “Rainbows” trek will wrap on August 6th at Springfield, Massachusetts’ MassMutual Center.
We asked Carlos Santana if there was any advice he would offer up to aspiring musicians today: “Don’t pay attention to the business. Pay attention to life. People need water. People need air. People need music. And if you’re a good musician, if you play piano at Nordstrom’s and they fire you because nobody buys anything when you’re playing, because they’re all looking at you? (laughter) — that’s a badge of honor (laughter).”
