He has 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards and five Grammy Awards for hits and albums like “You’ve Got a Friend,” Hourglass and more. His first top 10 hit, “Fire and Rain,” was released as part of his 1970 triple-platinum album Sweet Baby James which was then followed by another million-seller, Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon.

Earning multiple awards and honors including the National Medal of Arts by President Obama in 2011 and the distinguished Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 2012, Taylor has demonstrated a career filled with artistic triumphs.

ABOUT BONNIE RAITT

Ten-time Grammy winner, Grammy Awards Hall of Famer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Bonnie Raitt has been critically lauded throughout her career for her guitar skills and her blends of blues, folk, R&B and pop music. Although praised in her early days for her musical abilities, Raitt did not gain much commercial success until her tenth album, Nick of Time. The album won three Grammy Awards including Album of the Year and was voted as one of Rolling Stones Magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her latest and 20th album, Dig in Deep, released last year, keeps things focused and close to home. The album features her long time band of drummer Ricky Fataar, guitarist George Marinelli, bassist James “Hutch” Hutchinson and keyboardist Mike Finnigan who will all join her on stage at the FedExForum show.
