Known equally for his songwriting, virtuoso piano work, and fearless exploration across rock, folk, jazz, and classical traditions, Bruce Hornsby first charmed music lovers worldwide in 1986 with “The Way It Is.” Since then, he's collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists, from the Grateful Dead and Bonnie Raitt to Don Henley and Ricky Skaggs. In concert, his songs stretch and transform in real time, shaped by improvisation, shifting rhythms, and intuitive interplay with his band, The Noisemakers, who create a richly layered sound around Hornsby’s piano as an anchor. This performance will feature material from throughout Hornsby’s storied career, in addition to new music from his new album, Indigo Park, arriving April 3, 2026.
About the Artist
Based out of Williamsburg, Virginia, Bruce Hornsby first rose to national prominence with The Way It Is, his 1986 Grammy-winning debut album with The Range. The title track became the most-played song on American radio in 1987 while Tupac Shakur’s timeless song “Changes” builds on “The Way It Is” and set the stage for many subsequent versions of the track. In 1991, Hornsby collaborated with Bonnie Raitt, playing on her iconic hit “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Additionally, Hornsby was a part-time member of the Grateful Dead from September 1990 to March 1992, performing more than 100 concerts in America and Europe. The 13-time Grammy nominee has also solidified his status as a highly sought-after collaborator. Hornsby’s own 23 albums have sold over 11 million copies worldwide, and he has appeared on more than 100 records, including releases with Bob Dylan, Don Henley, the Grateful Dead, Stevie Nicks, Ricky Skaggs, Bob Seger, Chaka Khan, Bon Iver, Brandon Flowers, Bonnie Raitt, Sting, Mavis Staples, Willie Nelson, and more.
