TheBonnieRaitt
Bonnie Raitt is a singer, songwriter and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop. After 20 years as a cult favorite, she 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 thirteen-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.” With Just Like That…, her first new album in more than six years, Raitt continues to draw on the range of influences that have shaped her legendary career, while creating something that speaks to the circumstances and challenges of these unprecedented times. Bonnie continues to use her influence to affect the way music is perceived and appreciated in the world.

Sending our deepest sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones, pets and livestock, their homes and businesses and those whose lives have been so radically upended by Hurricane Helene. We are thinking of you and all that you are going through in these very tough days and nights. For those of us that are far away and want to help in some capacity, there are several organizations deploying relief resources to the many hard-hit areas. World Central Kitchen is serving meals to residents, rescue personnel and relief responders across Western NC, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. You can learn more about their efforts here: wck.org/news/hurricanes-helene-john

In Episode 2 of The Road To Joni, host Carmel Holt tells Bonnie Raitt that her own road to Joni began with cassettes of Blue and Bonnie's 1974 album Streetlights. Bonnie talks about redefining what it's like to have a vital, vibrant artistic career well into your later years and how Judy Collins' version of "Both Sides Now" sparked her road to Joni. Bonnie shares that her version of “That Song About The Midway” holds a very special meaning for her, including performing the song in Joni’s living room at one of the Joni Jams.
EP2 of the podcast drops today, September 13 at www.sheroesradio.com/roadtojoni and the radio hour will air across our affiliate radio station network beginning Saturday, September 14.

With great sadness, we mark the passing of one of the most important people in our activist musicians community, Tom Campbell. For over 50 years, Tom and his wonderful team at Avocado Productions and The Guacamole Fund have organized and produced over 1200 benefit concerts, rallies and receptions for a wide range of wonderful issues from No Nukes, to environmental protection and justice, women's, human and Native American rights and peace. There is no one who has done more to raise funds and awareness than Tom. I’ve included a link to his obit here so you can appreciate in detail his amazing life and contributions. He was a dear friend and I’ll miss and be grateful for him always.
Our sincere condolences go out to his wife Smoky, son Grady and all the family. -- Bonnie
