Bonnie Raitt Ends Fall DIG IN DEEP Tour at the Santa Fe Opera in September

Fresh off a visit Down Under that brought the 'Dig In Deep' Tour to New Zealand and Australia, including a stop at the famed Byron Bay Bluesfest, 10-time Grammy Award winner Bonnie Raitt has announced a late summer run of shows in the U.S., returning to familiar territory (Bayfield, WI and Santa Fe, NM) and revisiting parts of the Northern Plains and Mountain States, including a headlining slot at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival and a benefit for Honor the Earth in Moorhead, MN. Raitt will be joined by her longtime touring band: James "Hutch" Hutchinson (bass), Ricky Fataar (drums), and George Marinelli (guitar), along with Mike Finnigan (keyboards). Special Guest Anders Osborne will support most dates.
