Bonnie Raitt is heading back out on tour just months after being recognized for her lifetime of artistic achievements as part of the Kennedy Center's 47th Class of Honorees in Washington, D.C.
The 13-time Grammy winner will include Phoenix on the stops while performing songs from her catalog. Raitt will perform downtown at Arizona Financial Theatre on Friday, March 7. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 22 at livenation.com.
Raitt’s tour has already taken her across the U.S. and Canada with stops overseas in Australia, England, Ireland and Scotland, since the release of her three-time Grammy Award-winning album “Just Like That…” in 2022.
Raitt made a splash last month when English singer-songwriter Charli XCX via her collaborator Justin Vernon sampled "Nick of Time," the title track from Raitt's 1989 release that earned the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The new track, "I think about it all the time featuring bon iver," is included on Charli's new remix album, “Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat.”
“Well, luckily, there are people like Charli and Justin who are drawn to my music,” Raitt shared in a press release. “When I started, I was idolizing my heroes like Sippie Wallace, Muddy Waters, and Judy Collins, and now I get to be appreciated like they were. I’ll take it and wear it with pride.”
Raitt was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone Magazine named the slide guitar ace one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”
