With his singular voice, narrative
songwriting and passionate live performances, Rod Stewart has built one of the
most successful and enduring music careers of all time. In a career spanning
more than five decades, he has amassed sales of more than 150 million albums
worldwide and has countless chart-topping hits and industry accolades - including
two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2007, he was bestowed
Commander of the British Empire (CBE) by the Queen of England. In May 2013,
Stewart released Time, his first rock album in a dozen years, on Capitol
Records. The album features 11 original tracks and marks Rod’s return to
songwriting after nearly two decades. Time entered the UK Albums Chart at No.
1, setting a new British record for the longest gap between chart-topping
albums by an artist -- and in the US, it marked Stewart’s highest-charting
album of original material since 1979.
In addition to touring, Stewart headlines one of Las Vegas’ most
critically and commercially successful residencies at The Colosseum at Caesars
Palace.
For forty years and as many albums
later, Santana has sold more than 100 million records and reached more than 100
million fans at concerts worldwide. To date, Santana has won ten GRAMMY ®
Awards and three Latin GRAMMY ® Awards.
He won 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 also received the Billboard Century Award (1996), was ushered into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998), and received the Billboard Latin Music
Awards’ Lifetime Achievement honor (2009).
Among many other honors, Carlos Santana has also been cited by Rolling
Stone as #15 on their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.”
Celebrating the chart debut of Guitar Heaven (Arista) in 2010, Santana joined
the ranks of the Rolling Stones as the only musical act in chart history to
score at least one Top 10 album in every decade beginning with the 1960s. He is
also currently headlining at a multi-year residency at House of Blues at
Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. In 2013, Carlos Santana was the recipient of
the 2013 Kennedy Center Honors Award. Santana’s new album CORAZÓN (RCA/Sony
Latin Iberia) due out May 6, 2014 is a collaborative effort with the biggest
names in Latin music.
