Santana & Counting Crows: Oneness Tour 2024

For more than five decades—from Santana’s earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion outfit 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 GRAMMY Awards and three Latin GRAMMY Awards, with a record-tying nine GRAMMY Awards 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 & Roll Hall of Fame (1998), received the Billboard Latin Music Awards’ Lifetime Achievement honor (2009) and was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors Award (2013). Among many other distinctions, Carlos Santana has been cited by Rolling Stone as No. 11 on their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time;” and has joined the Rolling Stones as one of only two bands to have an album reach the Top 10 in every decade since the 1960s. 

 

Counting Crows is an American rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area, Calif. Formed in 1991, the band consists of guitarist David Bryson, drummer Jim Bogios, vocalist Adam Duritz, keyboardist Charlie Gillingham, multi-instrumentalist David Immerglück, bass guitarist Millard Powers and guitarist Dan Vickrey. Counting Crows gained popularity following the release of its first album, “August and Everything After” (1993). 

 

With the breakthrough hit single "Mr. Jones" (1993), the album sold more than seven million copies in the United States. The band received two GRAMMY Award nominations in 1994, one for "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" (for "Round Here") and one for "Best New Artist." The follow-up album, “Recovering the Satellites,” reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart and reached number one in several other countries.
