According to information provided by the tour, Raitt is heading out on the road again in 2024 with members of her longtime touring band, with 24 new concerts in the U.S. announced Monday.
The tour release stated, “Many would think Raitt might be eager to rest and take some downtime after headlining 75 concerts in 2022 and another 50 in 2023, spanning the U.S., Australia, the UK, Scotland, Ireland and Canada, and winning three Grammy Awards at the 65th Annual ceremony in February and an Americana Music Award in September — making “Just Like That” the first composition to win Song of the Year at both ceremonies.
The fact is, though there are always healthy breaks built into each tour, and after a few weeks, the tour release stated Raitt is itching to get back to what she loves most — traveling and playing live.
After 20 years as a cult favorite, Raitt broke through to the top in the early 90s 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 13-time Grammy winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace #54 on their recently updated list of the “250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”
