Due to the devastation of the Asheville area from Hurricane Helene, Bonnie Raitt’s November 20th concert at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium will be rescheduled to April 23, 2025.  Tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled show date and refunds will be offered until January 31, 2025.

To support communities impacted by Hurricane Helene struggling in the wake of the storm, Raitt and her band will hold a benefit concert on November 20th at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, NC. All net proceeds from the concert will be donated to non-profit organizations aiding communities as they try to clean up and rebuild their lives so tragically impacted by this natural disaster. “Our hearts break for the devastated communities whose immeasurable pain and hardship continues. With our partners at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, NC and our promoter Allen Corbett with AEG Presents, we are coming together to donate all we can from the event to support these crucial relief efforts,” Raitt said.     

Funds raised will help organizations that are on the ground in the impacted areas including the Emergency and Disaster Response Fund of The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina which distributes grants to front-line nonprofits engaged in relief efforts in 18 counties of Western NC. The Foundation’s administrative fees are waived so that every dollar goes directly to assistance. https://cfwnc.org/initiatives/hurricane-helene-relief-and-recovery

The benefit concert at Ovens comes in the middle of Raitt’s Fall 2024 headlining concert tour that started on the West Coast in September and October and will make stops in Houston, New Orleans, several cities in the Southeast and Florida throughout November to wind up the year. In early December, Raitt will be celebrated at the 47th Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C. for her lifetime of artistic achievements. She will join the class of honorees this year that includes acclaimed director and filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola; legendary American rock band the Grateful Dead (Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Bobby Weir); jazz trumpeter, pianist, and composer Arturo Sandoval; and The Apollo, which will receive a special Honors as an iconic American institution. The 47th annual Kennedy Center Honors will air on the CBS Television Network on Monday, December 23^rd and will stream on Paramount+.

Performing with his band, Special Guest James Hunter known for delivering electrifying live performances with his authentic brand of rhythms and blues, will be supporting Raitt on the entire Fall tour including joining her to raise funds at the concert November 20th. About opening for Bonnie Raitt, Hunter says, “We’re very much looking forward to kicking off the night for the great Bonnie Raitt, so bring your dancing shoes and we’ll get you warmed up for a memorable evening of live music.”
