Get ready for a high-energy night of unforgettable ’70s music as Abraxas, featuring renowned guitarist Ed Antonelli, brings the spirit and sound of Santana to the stage. The heart of the show is a powerful celebration of Santana’s legendary catalog, with electrifying performances of favorites like “Black Magic Woman,” “Oye Como Va,” “Maria Maria,” “Everybody’s Everything,” “La Fiesta,” and more.

Adding to the excitement, Abraxas will also sprinkle in select hits from some of the most iconic artists and bands of the decade, including The Doobie Brothers, Eric Clapton, Malo (guitarist Jorge Santana) and Emerson, Lake &amp; Palmer.
