Tangled and Dark: A Tribute to Bonnie Raitt
OK, who’s coming to the big show on Feb. 21? I’m very excited about it. The seven-piece band is smokin’, the singers are fabulous, and the material is just fun to hear and dance to.
Here’s some homework for you to get you even more psyched up for the show. First of all, check out Bonnie Raitt’s bio on her web site, and explore the rest of her site from there. Second, theres some more great stuff with a couple of videos at All About Jazz. Third, I just watched this interview with her on Charlie Rose back in 1995. Kinda bizarre that she was on the show with historian Robert Massie, and Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. She’s sort of the sweet filling between two much drier guests. Her 20-minute segment starts at about 22 minutes into the show.
Thanks everybody for coming! We had an absolute blast. The energy from the crowd was amazing, and I think the band and the singers just reflected it all right back. I have never seen so many people crammed into the Center for the Arts before! Thank you!!
