Tonight, guitar God Carlos Santana performs at Walnut Creek with British rock and blues star Steve Winwood of Traffic and Blind Faith. Santana's outfit consists of impossibly talented players, including top percussionists Karl Perazzo and Raul Rekow. Known for his distinct sound - compared occasionally to jazz guitarist John McLaughlin - Carlos Santana has remained relevant over the years by recruiting chart topping pop stars, such as Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, to sing his songs. This tour will actually welcome his newest record, Guitar Heaven - the Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time, out September 21st. This album will again include Rob Thomas and a handful of other pop stars performing classic rock favorites such as Deep Purple’s "Smoke on the Water", Zeppelin’s "Whole Lotta’ Love", and AC/DC's "Back in Black."
Steve Winwood remains at the top of his game touring the world performing a well balanced mix of tunes from his days with Eric Clapton through his hits from the 80's and into the present. A canonized rock mogul, Steve Winwood's voice recalls the history of British blues inspired rock and roll.
(You will surely hear "Dear Mister Fantasy" and "Back in the High Life Again.")
