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, DC. Raitt and her world-class band will headline theaters around the country performing songs from her enduring catalog. Raitt’s vigorous tour has taken her across the U.S. and Canada with stops overseas in Australia, England, Ireland and Scotland, since the release of her critically acclaimed, three-time GRAMMY Award-winning studio album, Just Like That...in 2022.
Raitt made an unexpected splash in music industry headlines last month when English singer-songwriter Charli XCX via her collaborator Justin Vernon sampled and interpolated "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, and whose message about "running out of time" has resonated with younger generations just as it did for Raitt's contemporaries 35 years ago. “Well, luckily, there are people like Charli and Justin who are drawn to my music,” Raitt says. “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.”
