Bruce Hornsby Comes to Gettysburg College's Majestic Theater

Bruce Hornsby, the creatively insatiable pianist and singer-songwriter from Williamsburg, Virginia, will be performing at the Gettysburg College's Majestic Theater on Friday, June 28, 2019 at 8:00p.m. Hornsby always has succeeded on his exceptional gifts, his training, and his work ethic. He became a global name in music by reimagining American roots forms as songs that moved with the atmospheric grace of jazz. "The Way It Is" defined sonic joy on the radio, however as a hit record it also evidenced a thrilling re-structuring, and during the years afterward Hornsby, in staggeringly diverse ways, has kept going.

He has returned to traditional American roots forms, collaborating with Ricky Skaggs and he has played with the Grateful Dead. He has fused the plunk and dazzle of twentieth-century modernist classical composition to singer-songwriter emotional inquiries. So when Hornsby describes Absolute Zero, his new album, as "a compendium of what I like and moves me," don't expect perhaps a thing or two new. Prepare for a multi- faceted ride.
