FRONT PORCH SALSA DANCE PARTY!

LPT are becoming the new ambassadors of Salsa music in the Southeast, using the music to bridge gaps between cultures.
2019 marks the 20th anniversary of Carlos Santana’s groundbreaking album Supernatural and the 50th anniversary of his legendary performance at Woodstock. Santana will celebrate these historic anniversaries with an energy-infused tour highlighting hits from Supernatural as well as many others from his long list of greatest hits. For more than 50 years, Santana has sold more than 100 million records, performed for 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”) as well as three Latin GRAMMY’s. He has also received the Billboard Century Award (1996), was ushered into the Rock and 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 honors, Carlos Santana has been cited by Rolling Stone as #15 on their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” And, with the 2014 release of Corazón, Santana surpassed the Rolling Stones and is one of only two music acts in Billboard history to score at least one Top Ten album for six consecutive decades since the 1960s.
In the fall of 2014, Carlos Santana released his memoir “The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light.” In 2017, Carlos Santana and Cindy Blackman Santana joined forces with The Isley Brothers (Ronald and Ernie) to release Power of Peace, an album celebrating the timeless sounds of funk, soul, blues, rock, jazz, and pop.
This year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is working with The Amp in St. Augustine to collect non-perishable food items for women at the Betty Griffin Center during the Santana concert! To ensure moms in crisis receive the love and appreciation they deserve this Mother’s Day, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is hosting its Movers for Moms® collection drive to provide critical gifts to local women staying in community shelters this spring. Volunteers will be located near the Box Office collecting items before patrons enter the venue. Thank you in advance for your support!
