Delivered with a level of passion and soul equal to the legendary sonic charge of his guitar, the sound of Carlos Santana is one of the world's best-known musical signatures. His latest album, "Shape Shifter," is the first for his new label, Starfaith Records. The 13-song set is an instrumental tour de force long awaited by fans (only one song features vocals). Santana boasts 20 RIAA gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums (including their first 14 consecutive certifications), 10 Grammy Awards and lifetime sales of more than 90 million albums worldwide. Next he will begin a two-year run of unique performances - "An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow" -- in the re-configured House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, beginning May 2. With a dedication to humanitarian outreach and social activism that parallels his lifelong relationship with music, Santana is as much an exemplary world citizen as a global music icon.

The multi-platinum band Train made their mark on music history with their Grammy (R) Award-winning song, "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)," and chart-topping singles "Meet Virginia" and "Calling All Angels." In 2011 the band earned their third Grammy (R) for the worldwide smash "Hey Soul Sister" from their previous album, "Save Me, San Francisco." "Save Me, San Francisco" sold over one million albums worldwide and "Hey Soul Sister" was the biggest selling single of 2010 and hit # 1 at radio in the U.S. and 15 countries abroad. On Tuesday, April 17, Train is set to release their newest album, "California 37." The first single from the album, "Drive By," has rocketed up the sales and radio charts with over 1 million single sales.

She became a top session and touring musician before the age of 20, performing and/or recording with artists like George Duke, Steve Nicks, Patti LaBelle, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and Gloria Estefan.
