Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Bonnie Raitt is returning to Santa Cruz! Fans can expect a setlist that balances her “present-day brilliance” from Just Like That… with timeless classics like “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” “Something to Talk About,” and “Angel from Montgomery”. Reviewers have praised her enduring vocal power and legendary slide guitar skills.
Known for her unique blend of blues, rock, folk, and R&B. A 13-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, she gained fame for her soulful voice and masterful bottleneck slide guitar skills, breaking barriers for women in blues-rock.
Locals Love: The historic Art Deco charm and intimate setting of the Civic Auditorium.
First Timers Miss: Dressing for heat in a historic building without air-conditioning. During winter shows or rainy days, there is often a coat check in the basement that many visitors miss.
Insights: Arrive early for security screening, don’t bring a bag or purse, and remember that Locust St. Garage is a short, pleasant walk if lot 6 (next to the venue) is full.
