Bonnie Raitt Instagram – That’s a wrap on the tour for 2023! Bonnie and the band finished up their 50th headlining show of 2023 with a sold out show @acllive at The Moody Theatre in Austin on Saturday night, followed on Sunday by a taping of the iconic @acltv television series that will broadcast on @pbs in the beginning of 2024 (including a special appearance by singer-songwriter, @sunnywarmusic.)
Not quite ready to leave the “Live Music Capital of the World” just yet, Bonnie made a surprise appearance at a special concert at the legendary blues club, @antonesnightclub in Austin, Texas, Monday, October 16. The concert benefiting bassist Sarah Brown, who’s been a beloved figure in the Austin music scene and member of the venue’s house band for the past 40 years, also featured performances by @jimmievaughanofficial, Marcia Ball, @suefoleyofficial, @johnnynicholasblues, Fran Christina, @rosierockabillyfilly, Larry Fulcher, @thetexashorns3, Derek O’Brien and more. (Sarah and others pictured below) The concert aimed to raise awareness of the Living Liver Donor program in an effort to help Brown, a friend of Bonnie’s for over 50 years, find a liver donor match.

Bonnie, the band, crew, all her special guests and us at BRHQ want to send a huge “THANK YOU” to the fans who brought us all so much joy and appreciation this year. We love you too! — BRHQ
