(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- Borgata Event Center presents Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bonnie Raitt on Saturday, April 19, 2025 at 8:00pm.  Larry John McNally will open the night.

Bonnie Raitt is a singer, songwriter and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock and pop. After 20 years as a cult favorite, she broke through to the top in the early ’90s with her GRAMMY award-winning albums, “Nick of Time” and “Luck of the Draw,” which featured hits “Something To Talk About” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” among others.

The 13-time GRAMMY winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Tickets are available for purchase online. Borgata Event Center is located at One Borgata Way in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

On Sunday, December 8, 2024, Bonnie Raitt was honored by the Kennedy Center for her lifetime of artistic achievements alongside Francis Ford Coppola, the Grateful Dead  and Arturo Sandoval — as well as the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, which received special recognition as an American institution.

Opener Larry John McNally's career began in 1981 with the release of his debut album on Columbia Records. Perhaps best categorized as a "Singer-Songwriter-Guitarist", he calls his blend of literary lyrics and blues/folk/jazz guitar style, "Folk-Hendrix". He continues to record and perform both as a solo artist and with his trio in clubs and concert venues from Tokyo to Kokomo.

McNally is well-known in many circles as a songwriter's songwriter. His lyrical guitar-driven songs have been covered by artists from The Eagles, Don Henley to Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, the Staple Singers and Aaron Neville. LJM's own recordings are coveted treasures among his devotees and delightful finds for those who happen upon them for the first time. They are filled with songs of passion, angst, city lights, and more, all with the unique ability to create both an aural as well as visual cinematic-like impression.
