The Firehouse Center for the Arts presents…
A Love Letter to Bonnie Raitt
Presented by Katie Matzell & The Fundamental Things
Tickets starting at $30
Katie Matzell & The Fundamental Things celebrate the music of the legendary Bonnie Raitt, Katie’s favorite artist of all time and greatest musical influence. Katie’s nine-piece band of veteran musicians from Portland, Maine play a variety of hits, deep cuts, ballads, and blues that span Raitt’s illustrious career. They perform these songs with deep respect for their original album arrangements, expert songwriting, and nostalgic sounds across seven decades.
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.” Matzell was nominated by the New England Music Awards in 2018 for Female Performer of the Year. She continues to write new music for release in the near future.
