Delivering angry blues, soft country and good time rock n roll, he'll perform alongside his combo - Kenny Blevins on drums, Patrick O'Hearn on bass and Doug Lancio on guitars. Take a journey into a world of love, heartbreak, hope and rebirth with brand new music from his latest album, MYSTIC PINBALL.

Hiatt began his solo career with the 1974 album Hangin' Around the Observatory. His landmark 1987 release Bring The Family was his first album to chart in the U.S. 2000's Crossing Muddy Waters was called "The most natural and relaxed John Hiatt album in years..." by All Music Guide.

Critical acclaim continued for The Open Road (2010) with The Boston Herald praising "Hiatt knocks together a rocking, full-throttle road record that in its tone, toughness and mix of blues, r&b and country harkens back to his landmark Bring the Family" while the Associated Press proclaimed "Hiatt remains at the top of his game" in reference to Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns (2011.)
