Bonnie Raitt Books Run Of U.S. Gigs

Bonnie Raitt announces a batch of performances in California, Nevada and Hawaii to kick off her 2017 world tour. The outing begins Feb. 15 at Long Beach’s Terrace Theater.

Raitt is continuing to support her 17th studio album, Dig In Deep.

In September Raitt performed the track “Gypsy In Me” at the annual Americana Music Association Awards & Honors in Nashville. Tune in to PBS on Nov. 19 to see highlights from the event.

Fans will also want to watch PBS on New Year’s Eve to see a broadcast of the induction ceremony for the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame. Raitt – who was inducted along with Kris Kristofferson and B.B. King – performed several songs with Taj Mahal, Mavis Staples, Willie Nelson, and Gary Clark Jr.

The new U.S. dates are booked ahead of a previously announced trip to Australia in late March/ April. Here’s the plan:

Raitt is once again working with the Guacamole Fund to donate one dollar from every ticket sold “to grassroots local, regional, and national organizations whose work focuses on safe and sustainable energy, social justice and human rights, environmental protection, and blues/music education.”
