Blues Singer/Songwriter John Hiatt to Rock the Southern Today

Named "...one of rock's most astute singer/songwriters of the last 40 years" by the Los Angeles Times, John Hiatt is touring in support of his 2014 release, Terms of My Surrender. A master lyricist and satirical storyteller, Hiatt weaves hidden plot twists into fictional tales of redemption, relationships, growing older, and surrendering through his acoustic blues and soulful, gritty voice.

CAPA presents John Hiatt at the Southern Theatre (21 E. Main St.) on Tuesday, October 11, at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $25-$50 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000.

Hiatt was working as a songwriter for Tree International, a record label in Nashville, when his song "Sure as I'm Sittin' Here" was covered by Three Dog Night. The song became a Top 40 hit, earning Hiatt a recording contract with Epic Records. Since then, he has released 21 studio albums, two compilation albums, and one live album. One of America's most respected and influential singer/songwriters, his songs have been covered by a variety of artists across multiple genres, including Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Joe Bonamassa, Willie Nelson, Joan Baez, Paula Abdul, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Buffett, Mandy Moore, Iggy Pop, Emmylou Harris, Rosanne Cash, Jewel, Aaron Neville, Jeff Healey, Keith Urban, Joe Cocker, Chaka Khan, and many others.
