On the evening of Monday, October 13, Paul Reed Smith Guitars will host the 15th Anniversary of the acclaimed One Night One Show One Cause Benefit Concert, presented by The Baltimore Sun Media Group for the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. This year’s event will take place at the Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric Opera House in downtown Baltimore MD and will feature an exclusive performance by Santana.
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. For 40 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. He has also received the Billboard Century Award (1996), and he was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998) as well as having 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.”
The VIP Pre-Party will include a Live Guitar auction, hosted by Jon Levinson of Alex Cooper Auctioneers and featuring guitars autographed by such names as Carlos Santana and the Baltimore Ravens, catered small plates by The Classic Catering People, and drinks featuring Casa Noble Tequila and American Harvest Organic Spirit.
One Cause is the flagship benefit concert of PRS Guitars. Since 2000, PRS Guitars has raised more than $3 million for the Living with Cancer Resource Program at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. The Living with Cancer Resource Program offers supportive-care programming and education to cancer patients and families at Johns Hopkins free of charge.
