Iconic Blues and Americana singer/songwriter Bonnie Raitt played to a very enthusiastic fanbase at Akron's Civic Theater on Saturday night. Returning to Northeast Ohio to the beautifully restored old movie palace, Raitt brought her"Live" tour to an almost-sold out crowd.
She spoke fondly of one of her closest friends, John Prine, who passed from COVID-19 during the pandemic. She covered two of his tunes,"Thing Called Love" and"Angel From Montgomery," in his memory. Another friend, Zimbabwean activist/musician Oliver Mtukudzi, passed in 2019. She cut a song with Mtukudzi in the early aughts called"Hear Me Lord," which she performed as well.
