Bonnie Raitt Tickets

Bonnie Raitt is heading out this summer with fellow Blues artist Taj Mahal on the "BonTaj Roulet Tour."

Their travels will kick off August 6th in Williamsport, PA, and will move westward over two months. They end their run September 25th in Rancho Mirage, CA, and Raitt will continue a solo tour into the late fall.

In the show, Raitt and Mahal plan to take the stage individually for full sets prior to finishing things up with a closing set together each night. Raitt will be supported by her backing band, and Mahal brings his six-piece Phantom Blues Band along for the fun.

Raitt has spent decades paying her dues to the music industry, and fans get to enjoy that when they have a chance to hear her musical genius live. After leaving Radcliffe in 1969, she spent the first 20 years of her career on the road, trying to build up her name after many commercial flops, honing the skills that have since madder her one of the premiere blues artists in the world, and probably the best of the female variety.

Raitt emerged onto the scene with a successful cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway," in 1977, but she didn't get another commercial hit until 1989 with "Luck of the Draw," which featured the hit single "I Can't Make You Love Me." A majority of her albums since then have gone multi platinum.

Throughout the years, Raitt has charted the massive hits "Something to Talk About," "Love Sneakin' Up on You," "You Got It" and "Rock Steady" with Bryan Adams. In 2000, her hard work paid off in a way beyond numbers on a chart, gaining her a spot in the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Throughout Raitt's musical career, she has been aligned with some of the biggest names in blues music, and has clearly learned a thing or two from them. She spent time in her youth performing with masters such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Howlin' Wolf, Sippie Wallace and Mississippi Fred McDowell.

Slowly but surely Raitt has become one of the masters of the blues sound, bringing her own brand of guitar to fans throughout the world.
