Bonnie Raitt Instagram - I’m still reeling! So grateful to everyone who helped bring me to last night. Thanks to the @recordingacademy members who voted for me; to all the members of our mighty @redwingrecords and support team: to my band, our brilliant engineer, Ryan Freeland @rjfreeland, and to my wonderful road crew—I thank you all for helping me get our music out to the world.

Bonnie Raitt Instagram - Hi there,

I want to thank you all for your beautiful, caring wishes for my speedy recovery. Everything went really well. My healing is on track and I’m feeling better every day. The band and I can’t wait to get back to playing in a few weeks. I’m so sorry we had to postpone our shows and apologize to those of you who won’t be able to join us for the rescheduled dates. I so appreciate your support and hope you can come see us another time.

Happy early Mother's Day to all the moms, and honoring our grandmas' lineage too! Who’d we be without them? So many thanks.

Very grateful to bring good news,

See you soon!

Bonnie 💜

Bonnie Raitt Instagram - Bonnie has a medical situation that requires surgery to address. The doctors say that in order for her to heal properly, they recommend she not perform for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, this overlaps our five tour dates in May, and we are very sorry to have to cancel our performance at @brandicarlilesmothershipwkd on May 14th and postpone our shows in Athens, Louisville, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. Please see below for more information about the rescheduled appearances.

We deeply apologize for this delay and inconvenience. It's always upsetting to have to disappoint her fans, band, crew and our promoters, but sometimes unforeseen things just happen. Thankfully, Bonnie’s in great hands. She was so looking forward to these shows, but we’re excited to be able to resume our 2023 tour, now kicking off in Dublin, Ireland, June 1st.

Thank you for your well wishes and understanding, and we very much appreciate your respecting her request for privacy at this healing time.

RESCHEDULED DATES:
* Athens, GA - rescheduled date TBD 2024
* Louisville, KY - rescheduled for June 30, 2023
* Indianapolis, IN - rescheduled for July 1, 2023
* Pittsburgh, PA -  rescheduled date TBD 2024

Please hold onto your tickets; they will be valid for the rescheduled show date and additional information will be coming from your point of purchase.

Bonnie Raitt Instagram - So great to get to hang with @nancywilson at her lovely home, where we were interviewed for a film about @thestevecropper, one of the greatest guitarists, songwriters and producers of all time. I feel so lucky to call him a friend.
Can’t wait to see the film when it’s finished! — Bonnie
Bonnie Raitt Instagram - With great sadness, we mark the passing of one of the most important people in our activist musicians community, Tom Campbell. For over 50 years, Tom and his wonderful team at Avocado Productions and The Guacamole Fund have organized and produced over 1200 benefit concerts, rallies and receptions for a wide range of wonderful issues from No Nukes, to environmental protection and justice, women’s, human and Native American rights and peace. There is no one who has done more to raise funds and awareness than Tom. I’ve included a link to his obit here so you can appreciate in detail his amazing life and contributions. He was a dear friend and I’ll miss and be grateful for him always. 

Our sincere condolences go out to his wife Smoky, son Grady and all the family. — Bonnie

Bonnie Raitt Instagram - I’m so heartbroken for the many thousands of people in Los Angeles who have suffered the loss of their homes, schools, businesses and entire communities. I was raised in LA, spent 2 decades of my adult life there and our family spent most of our family reunions and holidays visiting my Dad, where he lived in the Palisades the last 30 years of his life. It is truly unimaginable what people are going through and the amount of massive help and nearly “Marshall Plan” level of assistance they are going to need for decades. My heart and prayers and support go out to all those impacted and my deepest gratitude and support for all the firefighters, relief and care workers as well as kind and generous Angelenos who have so valiantly stepped in to help.

If you can and would like to join me, here are several wonderful organizations I’m making some initial donations to. Thank you and please keep your prayers and support coming in, however you are able. — Bonnie

Bonnie Raitt Instagram - The Canadian tour has been terrific; great crowds and the band on fire. There’s three shows left, including tonight in Thunder Bay, Ontario on the shores of Lake Superior, then London, Ontario and Toronto on Wednesday. Special Guest @royalwood and his group have delighted the audiences as well. 

Bonnie’s tour continues on to Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and wraps up Austin with her taping @acltv Oct 15th.

She and the band thank all our Canadian fans for giving them such a warm welcome back. Thanks to our bass player, James "Hutch" Hutchinson (@brbassman) for this great shot from the stage in Winnipeg. Head to the link in bio to read the wonderful concert review in the @winnipegfreepress. — BRHQ
Bonnie Raitt Instagram - "Early on in her career, Bonnie Raitt decided that live shows were more important to her than records. She wanted to get out and reach people directly, without having to rely on hype, promotion and hustle. In the time since, she's done a lot of traveling, but though she still says she'd never want a hit record, the release of her third album may be the one that makes her a 'star.' "

Bonnie Raitt Instagram - In celebration of the band’s 50th Anniversary, The Fabulous Thunderbirds have just released Struck Down, their first studio album in eight years on Stony Plain Records. The ten-track album includes a wonderful cover of Memphis Minnie’s “Nothing in Rambling,” featuring longtime friends, T-Birds founding member Kim Wilson, along with Bonnie, Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal and Mick Fleetwood.

Bonnie and the band go way back, playing live together often over the decades. Bonnie invited Kim to be one of her special guests on ROAD TESTED, her 1995 live album/concert film. Here’s a clip of their rockin’ duet of Kim’s T-Birds hit, “I Believe I’m In Love With You,” from that show, which has been a highlight of Bonnie’s concerts for years. — BRHQ

Bonnie Raitt Instagram - I’m deeply sorry to mark the passing of my friend, Dick Waterman, who made such a huge impact on the lives and careers of so many great blues artists, championing them as people as much as their music, booking and managing them with great care, integrity and skill. He gave me my start as well, going on to book and represent me for 15 years. He was also a renowned photographer who published a book and his wonderful photographs of some of our most legendary roots artists... He was an incredible storyteller, popular columnist in the local Oxford (Mississippi) Eagle and packed a great deal into his 88 years. We are so sorry to lose him and I am deeply grateful for the gifts he gave me and the life he lived.  My sincere condolences go to his wife Cinda and all his family.

Dick published a book of rare photographs and personal recollections called “Between Midnight and Day: The Last Unpublished Blues Archive” in 2003. While the book itself is out of print, you can read an excerpt (at the link in bio) from the preface I was honored to contribute.

To learn more about his life, you can check out his biography, “Dick Waterman: A Life In Blues” written by Tammy L. Turner at the link in bio.

The band and I can’t wait to get back to playing in a few weeks. I’m so sorry we had to postpone our shows and apologize to those of you who won’t be able to join us for the rescheduled dates. I so appreciate your support and hope you can come see us another time.

Happy early Mother's Day to all the moms, and honoring our grandmas' lineage too! Who’d we be without them? So many thanks.

Very grateful to bring good news,

See you soon!

Bonnie 💜

Bonnie Raitt - 11K Likes - Bonnie has a medical situation that requires surgery to address. The doctors say that in order for her to heal properly, they recommend she not perform for a couple of weeks.

Thankfully, Bonnie’s in great hands. She was so looking forward to these shows, but we’re excited to be able to resume our 2023 tour, now kicking off in Dublin, Ireland, June 1st.

Bonnie Raitt - 9K Likes - With great sadness, we mark the passing of one of the most important people in our activist musicians community, Tom Campbell. For over 50 years, Tom and his wonderful team at Avocado Productions and The Guacamole Fund have organized and produced over 1200 benefit concerts, rallies and receptions for a wide range of wonderful issues from No Nukes, to environmental protection and justice, women’s, human and Native American rights and peace. There is no one who has done more to raise funds and awareness than Tom. I’ve included a link to his obit here so you can appreciate in detail his amazing life and contributions. He was a dear friend and I’ll miss and be grateful for him always. 

Our sincere condolences go out to his wife Smoky, son Grady and all the family. — Bonnie

Bonnie Raitt - 5.3K Likes - I’m so heartbroken for the many thousands of people in Los Angeles who have suffered the loss of their homes, schools, businesses and entire communities. I was raised in LA, spent 2 decades of my adult life there and our family spent most of our family reunions and holidays visiting my Dad, where he lived in the Palisades the last 30 years of his life. It is truly unimaginable what people are going through and the amount of massive help and nearly “Marshall Plan” level of assistance they are going to need for decades. My heart and prayers and support go out to all those impacted and my deepest gratitude and support for all the firefighters, relief and care workers as well as kind and generous Angelenos who have so valiantly stepped in to help.

If you can and would like to join me, here are several wonderful organizations I’m making some initial donations to. Thank you and please keep your prayers and support coming in, however you are able. — Bonnie

Bonnie Raitt - 5K Likes - The Canadian tour has been terrific; great crowds and the band on fire. There’s three shows left, including tonight in Thunder Bay, Ontario on the shores of Lake Superior, then London, Ontario and Toronto on Wednesday. Special Guest @royalwood and his group have delighted the audiences as well. 

Bonnie’s tour continues on to Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and wraps up Austin with her taping @acltv Oct 15th.

She and the band thank all our Canadian fans for giving them such a warm welcome back. Thanks to our bass player, James "Hutch" Hutchinson (@brbassman) for this great shot from the stage in Winnipeg. Head to the link in bio to read the wonderful concert review in the @winnipegfreepress. — BRHQ

Bonnie Raitt - 4.8K Likes - "Early on in her career, Bonnie Raitt decided that live shows were more important to her than records. She wanted to get out and reach people directly, without having to rely on hype, promotion and hustle. In the time since, she's done a lot of traveling, but though she still says she'd never want a hit record, the release of her third album may be the one that makes her a 'star.' "

Bonnie Raitt - 4.6K Likes - In celebration of the band’s 50th Anniversary, The Fabulous Thunderbirds have just released Struck Down, their first studio album in eight years on Stony Plain Records. The ten-track album includes a wonderful cover of Memphis Minnie’s “Nothing in Rambling,” featuring longtime friends, T-Birds founding member Kim Wilson, along with Bonnie, Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal and Mick Fleetwood.

Bonnie and the band go way back, playing live together often over the decades. Bonnie invited Kim to be one of her special guests on ROAD TESTED, her 1995 live album/concert film. Here’s a clip of their rockin’ duet of Kim’s T-Birds hit, “I Believe I’m In Love With You,” from that show, which has been a highlight of Bonnie’s concerts for years. — BRHQ

Check out Struck Down including the track, “Nothing in Rambling,” at the link in bio.

Bonnie Raitt - 4.5K Likes - I’m deeply sorry to mark the passing of my friend, Dick Waterman, who made such a huge impact on the lives and careers of so many great blues artists, championing them as people as much as their music, booking and managing them with great care, integrity and skill. He gave me my start as well, going on to book and represent me for 15 years. He was also a renowned photographer who published a book and his wonderful photographs of some of our most legendary roots artists... He was an incredible storyteller, popular columnist in the local Oxford (Mississippi) Eagle and packed a great deal into his 88 years. We are so sorry to lose him and I am deeply grateful for the gifts he gave me and the life he lived.  My sincere condolences go to his wife Cinda and all his family.

Dick published a book of rare photographs and personal recollections called “Between Midnight and Day: The Last Unpublished Blues Archive” in 2003. While the book itself is out of print, you can read an excerpt (at the link in bio) from the preface I was honored to contribute.

To learn more about his life, you can check out his biography, “Dick Waterman: A Life In Blues” written by Tammy L. Turner at the link in bio.
