Bonnie Raitt
- Main StageSaturday 5•July•2025
Thirteen Grammy awards, a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a place in Rolling Stones’ ranking of the '100 best guitarists of all time’ and '100 best singers of all time’... To say that Bonnie Raitt, with her soulful, characteristic voice, masterful (slide) guitar playing and tried-and-tested song-writing, has put an indelible stamp on music history is an understatement. In the 1970s and 80s, she played gigs with John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters and John Prine and was embraced as a cult hero but, in the 1990s, she finally broke through with her very own, unique blend of blues, country, folk and rock. Albums like Nick of Time or Luck of the Draw are undeniable milestones and tracks such as 'I Can’t Make You Love Me’ and 'Something to Talk About’ are genuine classics. In 2022, Raitt came up with Just Like That, her 21st studio album, which won 3 Grammy awards, and which showcase creativity, experimentation and daring.
