Bonnie Raitt New Album and 2016 UK Tour Announcement

On Friday 26th February, 2016, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bonnie Raitt will release ‘Dig In Deep’, her twentieth album, on Redwing Records, her own, independent label. The record follows Bonnie’s hugely successful 2012 release ‘Slipstream’, which was one of the best-selling independent albums of 2012 and earned Bonnie a GRAMMY for Best Americana Album — her tenth career GRAMMY win.

“The response to ‘Slipstream’ was such a refreshing and unexpected boost,” says Raitt. “So going into this album, I had renewed energy.”

The pre-order for ‘Dig In Deep’, which will be distributed globally by ADA, begins on Friday 6th November 2015. In addition, Bonnie Raitt will make a welcome return to the UK where she’s long been recognized as one of contemporary music’s great live performers, for a May/June 2016 tour.

Bonnie’s Dig In Deep Tour will feature her longtime touring band, which backs her on the forthcoming album, including James “Hutch” Hutchinson (bass), Ricky Fataar (drums), and George Marinelli (guitar), along with Mike Finnigan (keyboards), who joined the line-up for the triumphant 2012-2013 Slipstream tour.

Thursday 26th May 2016 – Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, United Kingdom
