(NEWTON, NJ) -- The Newton Theatre presents John Hiatt on Saturday, September 30, 2023. A master lyricist and satirical storyteller, Hiatt delivers songs filled with tales of redemption, relationships and surrendering on his own terms. Doors are at 7:00pm, showtime is 8:00pm.

Among the highlights throughout the years is 1987's “Bring the Family”; other catalog highlights include the pop and rock of 1983's “Riding with the King”, the rough-hewn blues-rock of 2008's “Same Old Man” and 2021's “Leftover Feelings”. 

Hiatt's lyrics and melodies have graced more than 20 studio albums, have been recorded by Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and scores of others, and have earned him a place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, a BMI Troubadour award and a lifetime achievement in songwriting designation from the Americana Music Association.

Tickets range from $64-$89 and will be available for purchase online starting Friday, June 2nd at 10:00am. The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.
