Katie Matzell is thrilled to debut her “Love Letter” to Bonnie Raitt, her favorite artist of all time and greatest musical influence. Join Katie and her 9 piece band: Cilla Bonnie, bass and vocals; Max Cantlin, guitar and vocals; Sean Morin, guitar and vocals; Dawson Hill, keyboard and vocals; Chris Sweet, drums; Emma Stanley, trumpet and keys; John MacLaine, trombone; and Andrew Halchak, saxophone and flute. Join in the celebration of the music of Bonnie Raitt, as Katie the band cover the hits and deep cuts that span Raitt's decades-long career in music.
Katie and the band will be joined by a very special guest, Larry John McNally, who penned “Nobody’s Girl” and “Slow Ride” for Raitt. LJM continues to record and perform both as a solo artist and with his trio in clubs and concert venues from Tokyo to Kokomo. He is well known in many circles as a songwriter’s songwriter. His moody, guitar-driven, lyrical, thoughtful songs have been covered by artists from Don Henley (who rarely does outside songs) to Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Jennifer Warnes, the Staple Singers and Aaron Neville. LJM’s own recordings are coveted treasures among his devotees and delightful finds for those who happen upon them for the first time.
