‘An Evening With Bruce Hornsby’ November 2019 London Show Announced

A master of melodic piano and accompanist to Bonnie Raitt and many more, Hornsby makes a welcome return to these shores…

Following the release of his incredible new album ‘Absolute Zero’, Grammy award winning pianist, singer and songwriter Bruce Hornsby has announced he will return to the UK on Sunday 3rd November 2019 at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London, United Kingdom for a special intimate, solo-piano performance.

On his return to the UK and Europe and the upcoming shows, Hornsby said “It’s been fifteen years since I played in Europe, and six since I did two concerts in the UK. I’m coming back this November, and excited to be doing so. Simply put, the beautiful response to Absolute Zero led to this revitalized interest in having me come over and play these dates, and I look forward to roaming through thirty-three years of musical evolution with any and all who are interested. See you then!”

‘Absolute Zero’ follows the release of 2016’s ‘Rehab Reunion.’ 

The 13-time Grammy nominee has solidified his status as a highly sought after collaborator….most recently back with his friend and collaborator Justin Vernon, co-writing on the highly praised Bon Iver track ‘U (Man Like)’ – which also features vocalist Moses Sumney. Hornsby’s own 20 albums have sold over 11 million copies worldwide, and Hornsby has appeared on over 100 records including releases with Bob Dylan, Don Henley, the Grateful Dead, Ricky Skaggs, Bob Seger, Chaka Khan, Brandon Flowers, Bonnie Raitt, Sting, Mavis Staples, Leon Russell, Willie Nelson and more.

Based out of Williamsburg, VA, Hornsby first rose to national prominence with The Way It Is, his 1986 Grammy-winning debut album with The Range. The title track became the most-played song on American radio in 1987 while Tupac Shakur’s timeless song “Changes” builds on “The Way It Is” and set the stage for many subsequent versions of the track. In 1991, Hornsby collaborated with Bonnie Raitt, playing on her iconic hit “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Additionally, Hornsby was a part-time member of the Grateful Dead from September 1990 to March 1992, performing over 100 concerts in America and Europe. Hornsby has written six full film scores and contributed music to four others including Spike Lee’s Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It and BlacKkKlansman.
