Katie Matzell & Friends are thrilled to return to One Longfellow Square for their second annual tribute to the legendary Bonnie Raitt, Katie’s favorite artist of all time and greatest musical influence. You can expect all the hits, deep cuts, ballads, and blues that span Raitt’s illustrious, decades-long career, performed by a full band and horn section. Katie’s band is made up of some of Portland’s most inimitable talent.

Katie Matzell is a singer, songwriter, and performer from Portland, Maine who released her debut EP in 2018, followed by a series of singles and live recordings. MaineToday called her “fierce and dazzling”. “[Matzell’s vocals are] sweet, full and gorgeous” with a “richness to them that make the songs burst all the more.” The Deli Magazine said “Matzell’s voice, both effortless and simple, floats above a sea of washy keys and pocket grooves, calling comparisons to not only her influences of the past (Bonnie Raitt and Aretha Franklin), but to her contemporaries — Norah Jones and Emily King immediately come to mind.”
