Nov 21, 2024
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Bonnie Raitt -- a singer, songwriter and guitarist with over 10 Grammy award wins under her belt -- is coming to Richmond's Altria Theater in the spring of 2025.
At 7:30 p.m. on April 22, 2025, Raitt will take to the stage at the Altria Theater for "Bonnie Raitt: Live 2025." Tickets go on sale starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov 22.
Raitt, described by organizers as a "cult favorite," is a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer who blends the blues, R&B, rock and pop to create a unique, beloved musical style.
Her rise began in the early 90s with her award-winning albums "Nick of Time" and "Luck of the Draw." She has continued her stardom across two decades, with more recent hits including "Slipstream" and "Dig in Deep," among many others.
"As known for her lifelong commitment to social activism as she is for her music, Raitt has long been involved with the environmental movement, performing concerts around oil, nuclear power, mining, water and forest protection since the mid-70s," the Altria Theater said. "She was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy), which produced the historic concerts, album and movie 'NO NUKES' and continues to work on safe energy issues in addition to environmental protection, social justice and human rights, as well as creator’s rights and music education."
