Bonnie Raitt will return to the Chautauqua Institution Amphitheater to open the 2023 season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 24.

Raitt is a singer, songwriter and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop. After 20 years as a performer, she broke through to the top in the early 1990s with her Grammy-award winning albums, “Nick of Time” and “Luck of the Draw,” which featured hits, “Something To Talk About” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me” among others.

The 10-time Grammy winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”

In November, her song “Just Like That” was nominated for a Grammy for Song of the Year (songwriter’s award) while her song “Nick of Time” was inducted into the National Recording Registry.

“Just Like That” is the title track from her newest 10-track album. According to Associated Press Entertainment Writer Mark Kennedy, “the singer-songwriter proves she’s not slowing down by offering a new 10-track album, “Just Like That.” It’s her 21st LP and her first in over six years. The terrific first single is one of her grooviest, “Made Up Mind,” with slinky slide chords and bluesy riffs. Raitt produced the record herself, working alongside mixing engineer Ryan Freeland, who combined with Raitt to win a Grammy for best Americana album for their work on her 2012 effort, ‘Slipstream.'”

Raitt’s 2012 independent release “Slipstream” sold more than a quarter-million copies, making it one of the top selling independent albums, and earned Raitt her 10th Grammy Award (Best Americana Album). In February 2016, Raitt released her 20th album, “Dig In Deep” (Redwing Records.) On tour for much of 2017-19, Raitt and her band performed overseas in Australia, New Zealand as well as Canada before spending the summers touring as support for James Taylor in stadiums and arenas across the U.S., United Kingdom and Europe.

Earlier this year Raitt received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys.

“To be recognized by my peers like this when I’m still on tour is really especially sweet that I don’t have to retire and they give me a gold watch or something,” Raitt told the Associated Press in April. “To be acknowledged for being an activist and a leader of a band and play electric guitar, they like my music — it’s been a wonderful thing just to part of the Grammy Association all this time.”
