Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and musician Bruce Hornsby rose to national prominence with The Way It Is, his 1986 debut album with the Range. The album’s title track became the most-played song on American radio in 1987, while Tupac Shakur’s posthumous 1998 single “Changes” incorporated “The Way It Is” and set the stage for many subsequent versions of the track. Hornsby was a part-time member of the Grateful Dead from September 1990 to March 1992, performing over 100 concerts with the band in America and Europe. In addition to releasing 23 albums under his own name, Hornsby has solidified his status as a highly sought-after collaborator. In 1991, he played piano on Bonnie Raitt’s hit “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and has appeared on releases by Bob Dylan, Brandon Flowers, the Grateful Dead, Don Henley, Bon Iver, Chaka Khan, Stevie Nicks, Bob Seger, Mavis Staples, Sting, and Country Music Hall of Fame members Ricky Skaggs and Willie Nelson. Performances will feature material from Hornsby’s career to date in addition to selections from his latest album, Indigo Park, arriving on April 3, 2026.
Tickets will go on sale here on Friday, January 23, at 10 AM.
