LITTLE BOSTON — The Gregg Rolie Band will perform at The Point Casino Event Center 8 p.m. July 17.

Rolie is a founding member of Santana and Journey, and former lead singer of Santana. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Santana.

At The Point, he’ll be joined by Michael Shrieve, original drummer from Santana. Tickets are $20 reserved, $15 general admission.

As a founding member of Santana, Rolie was part of the band’s first wave of success, including an appearance at Woodstock in 1969 and central roles in several hit albums. His voice drove such classic Santana hits as “Black Magic Woman,” “Oye Como Va,” “No One To Depend On” and “Evil Ways.”

He became well known for his unique sound on the Hammond B3 organ.

In 1973, Rolie joined a new band with ex-Santana guitarist Neal Schon; this became Journey. After leaving Journey in 1980, Gregg released several solo albums, including the eponymous “Gregg Rolie” in 1985. This album featured the song “I Wanna Go Back,” which later became a hit for Eddie Money.

Rolie formed The Storm in 1991 with Steve Smith and Ross Valory of Journey. Rolie played keyboards and was a co-lead vocalist on several tracks of the band’s first album, which hit No. 3 on the Billboard albums chart and spawned the Top 10 single, “I’ve Got A Lot To Learn About Love.”

Rolie and Ron Wikso began work in 1999 on a Gregg Rolie solo CD, titled “Roots”, which eventually led to the forming of the Gregg Rolie Band. In 2012-14, Rolie toured as a member of Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band.
