Santana
and
Journey
– both of which he co-founded. He also helmed rock group
The Storm
, and currently performs with his Gregg Rolie Band and with
Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band
. Rolie is a two-time inductee of the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
, having been inducted both as a member of Santana in 1998 and as a member of Journey in 2017.
Rolie was born in
Seattle
,
Washington
, United States. Prior to Santana, he played with a group called William Penn and His Pals while attending
Cubberley High School
in
Palo Alto, California
, circa 1965.
A year after graduating from high school in 1965, Rolie joined
Carlos Santana
and others to form the Santana Blues Band, which was later shortened simply to
Santana
. As a co-founding member of Santana, Rolie was part of the band's first wave of success, including an appearance at the
Woodstock Music and Art Festival
in 1969 and central roles in several hit albums. He was their original lead vocalist, with his voice appearing on well-known Santana songs such as "
Black Magic Woman
" (US #4), "
Oye Como Va
", "
No One To Depend On
" and "
Evil Ways
". He also became well known for his skill on the
Hammond B3 organ
, with solos on many of the aforementioned hits. He has song-writing credits on many tracks from this period. However, persistent differences with Carlos Santana regarding the musical direction of the band led Rolie to leave at the end of 1971.
In 1973 Rolie joined a new band with ex-Santana guitarist
Neal Schon
. This became
Journey
. Starring in a lineup that featured Schon,
Aynsley Dunbar
,
George Tickner
, and
Ross Valory
, he was keyboardist for the band's first six albums. On
Journey
and
Look into the Future
, he was lead vocalist, and on
Next
he shared those duties with guitarist Neal Schon. After
Steve Perry
joined the band in 1977, Rolie sang co-lead vocals on several songs on the albums
Infinity
,
Evolution
, and
Departure
.
After leaving Journey in 1980, Rolie 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
, and included contributions from
Carlos Santana
,
Peter Wolf
,
Neal Schon
, and
Craig Chaquico
. A second solo effort,
Gringo
, was released in 1987.
Rolie formed
The Storm
in 1991 with
Steve Smith
and
Ross Valory
of Journey. Similar to his work with Journey and Steve Perry, Rolie played keyboards and was a co-lead vocalist on several tracks of the band's first, eponymous, album, which spent 17 weeks on the
Billboard
albums chart peaking at #133 and spawned the hit singles "I've Got a Lot to Learn About Love," and "Show Me The Way." Despite this success,
Interscope Records
shelved the band's second album, which was recorded in 1993. It was finally released in 1996 on another label. In 1998, Rolie and other former members of Santana, including Neal Schon, briefly reunited as
Abraxas Pool
, releasing one album.
When Schon left to lead a re-formed Journey later that year, 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. Besides Rolie and Wikso,
Roots
featured appearances by
Neal Schon
,
Alphonso Johnson
,
Dave Amato
,
Adrian Areas
,
Michael Carabello
. The Gregg Rolie Band saw
Kurt Griffey
taking over guitar duties and the addition of
Wally Minko
as a second keyboardist. They recorded a live CD at Sturgis called
Rain Dance
, which was released in 2009.
In 2010, Rolie released
Five Days
and subsequently formed a duo with
Alan Haynes
, which eventually led to the formation of the Gregg Rolie Quartet, with the addition of long time collaborator/drummer, Ron Wikso and bassist Evan "Sticky" Lopez.
From 2012 he has toured as a member of
Ringo Starr
and his
All Starr Band
performing Santana hits "
Black Magic Woman
", "
Evil Ways
" and "Everybody's Everything". The band also included
Toto
guitarist
Steve Lukather
,
Todd Rundgren
,
Richard Page
,
Mark Rivera
and
Gregg Bissonette
. On February 2, 2013 Carlos Santana confirmed that he would reunite his classic lineup, most of whom played Woodstock with him in 1969. Santana said of Rolie, "I'm pretty sure Gregg's going to do it." Speaking in 2012 of such a reunion, Rolie told Radio.com "it's just a matter of putting it together and going and doing it. I would do it. I think it's a great idea. People would love it. It could be great!"

In 2016, as part of Santana's original line-up they released their fourth album, titled
Santana IV
.
On February 9, 2018, Rolie reunited with Neal Schon for a charity show at San Francisco's
The Independent
, benefiting North Bay Fire Relief. The group also featured former Journey drummer
Deen Castronovo
(who also sang some of the vocals) and bassist Marco Mendoza of
The Dead Daisies
.
In 2019 Rolie reunited with Neal Schon, Deen Castronovo and Marco Mendoza for four more concert dates
