Bonnie Raitt with special guest Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band

Chautauqua is thrilled to expand its tradition of live music with an exciting new offering this fall. On September 5, 2025, Bonnie Raitt — a 13-time Grammy Award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee — will take the Amphitheater stage.

This event marks the first major concert outside of Chautauqua’s traditional nine-week season, which is in session from late June to late August, opening the door for more spring and fall programming on the grounds.

A singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop, after 20 years as a cult favorite, Raitt broke through to the top in the early 90s with her GRAMMY-award-winning albums, Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw, which featured hits, “Something To Talk About” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me” among others.

Tickets for Bonnie Raitt with special guest Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band go on sale to the public Friday, February 7 at 10 a.m. (EST) at tickets.chq.org or by calling 716-357-6250.
