Bluesy singer/songwriter Bonnie Raitt has worked long and hard for her multiple Grammy Awards, hit singles and chart-topping records. Since her 1971 eponymous debut, the California-born performer and long-time activist has steadily maintained a music career, albeit with definite peaks and valleys. The red-headed songstress, one of the only women of her time to play guitar using the bottleneck technique, unleashed seven albums in just nine years, though her big commercial break came with her 10th studio set, 1989’s “Nick of Time.” That 11-track collection, produced by Don Was, earned three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
Not only has the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer tackled multiple U.S. tours and international runs, but she’s also a frequent participant in events of social activism, such as Farm Aid and Amnesty International concerts.
Raitt’s 16th full-length album and most recent studio release, “Slipstream,” hit retailers in 2012. Not only did ticket sales for the support tour soar, but Raitt also landed the best-selling blues album of the year and took home the Grammy for Best Americana Album.

Fantastic show, Bonnie’s voice and guitar are still the best out there!!! If you have the opportunity you must see her on this tour.
What a wonderful show. Bonnie still has it. Great strong voice and sang all of her greatest songs. I would love to see her again. And talk about a superb guitarist.....WoW!
We had great seats at the Chicago Theater, front row Loge. Bonnie was amazing! Standing O when she stepped out on stage. Along with the songs of hers that I love, she did a great rendition of INXS "Need You Tonight". But the crowning glory for me was when she sang "Angel From Montgomery"I didn't think I could love that song more than I already do. She was visibly emotional afterward. She is talented, humble, and funny. I will see her every chance I get.
Bonnie Raitt was excellent as predicted. Roy Rogers was great. Did not expect such incredible guitar playing.
Bonnie was still the same awesome performer she has always been. Great stage presence, great interaction with the audience and the same wonderful talent. SO glad we got to see her!
Great evening of music. Opening was wonderful. Bonnie’s voice was fantastic. Her emotional connection was warm and caring. I have missed seeing her for a long time. I am so glad we got on her schedule.
I have loved Bonnie for years and this was the first time I saw her live. Her and the band had so much fun and the music made me move the whole time. Bonnie is such a good person with a warm heart.
As per usual, Bonnie Raitt delivered an electric and emotional performance. Always the true showman!
Balance was off and instruments drowned out the fabulous voice of Bonnie Raitt, perhaps the most gracious human in the music business. We missed hearing her magnificent voice as the centerpiece of the concert and grew weary of overly loud instrumentation.
