Indianapolis born Singer/Songwriter John Hiatt has had a special place in the hearts of Bloomingtonians, as evidenced by his sold out double bill with Lyle Lovett at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater of February 15, 2009. On August 20, 2012 he'll be back in Bloomington with his band The Combo.

Hiatt and The Combo have gained a reputation for captivating crowds at their live shows. The Tennessean, a leading newspaper covering the Nashville and middle Tennesee area writes: “He prowls the stage, delivering the bluesy stuff in a whiskey-burn howl, shouting the rock stuff and fronting a formidable band that can turn on a dime, from ballads to bombast.” Including shows in NYC, Nashville and other large metropolitan areas, John Hiatt and the Combo will play the formidable stage of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, returning a little over 3 years.

John Hiatt's tour will promote the September 25 release of his 21st studio album, Mystic Pinball, on New West Records. Called “…one of rock’s most astute singer-songwriters of the last 40 years” by the Los Angeles Times, Hiatt continues to write brilliant character studies, twisting entertaining storylines with cunning lyrics and wry humor. For Mystic Pinball, Hiatt turned to producer Kevin “Caveman” Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa.) Shirley also produced Hiatt’s highly praised Dirty Jeans And Mudslide Hymns, which the New York Timesdeclared was “…his best since 1995.” Hiatt relies on the exceptional musical skills of Doug Lancio (electric guitar, mandolin, Dobro), Kenneth Blevins (drums and percussion) and Patrick O’Hearn (bass) to play with him on the record.

John Hiatt’s career as a performer and songwriter has spanned more than 30 years and his work has been covered by everyone from Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, BB King, and Bonnie Raitt to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night and The Neville Brothers. Hiatt began his solo career with the 1974 album Hangin’ Around the Observatory. His landmark 1987 release Bring The Family received critical praise and was his first album to chart in the U.S. In 1993, Rhino Records released Love Gets Strange: The Songs of John Hiatt, which collected many of the cover versions of his songs that were recorded during the 80s and 90s. 2000’s Crossing Muddy Waters was released to critical acclaim and was called “The most natural and relaxed John Hiatt album in years…” by All Music Guide. In 2008, Hiatt was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and was honored by the Americana Music Association with their prestigious “Lifetime Achievement in Songwriting Award.

The August 25 concert is sure to be a stunner.

 

 

 

Jennie DeVoe

"Jennie DeVoe's voice is smoked honey on a sultry summer evening...smooth, sweet and warm, steeped in the kettle of blues/R&B - but with a rare and wonderful flavor all her own. Only a handful of girls will ever get to sound this good."- Krista Detor, singer/songwriter.

Jennie DeVoe's critically-acclaimed 5th cd, Strange Sunshine, has just been released by Rubin the Cat Records (indie), with distribution by Sony Red. The new record comes to you straight from Bath, England, where it was produced by John Parish, who is best known for his work with PJ Harvey, The Eels and Tracy Chapman. This is John's second record with Jennie, and they are an awesome fit-delivering a work of art that's a fresh, edgy, raw throwback to the soul records that Otis & Aretha used to make.
