Bluesfest and Bluesfest Touring are proud to announce that Bonnie Raitt has just won three GRAMMY at the 2023 GRAMMY Awards, bringing her a total of 13 across the span of her incredible career.
Bonnie won Song of The Year for ‘Just Like That’.
To win Song of The Year, Bonnie had incredibly strong competition. She was up against songs by Beyonce, Adele, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Lizzo, DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar, and Gayle.
Peter Noble, Festival Director of the Bluesfest Group, said, “Everyone who has ever had the pleasure of spending a moment in their life in the presence of this wonderful human being will be celebrating her triple GRAMMY win. Not only is Bonnie Raitt a consummate musician and songwriter, Blues guitarist and singer, but she also walks the walk.”
Bonnie Raitt said of her win at the 2023 GRAMMY Awards, “I’m so surprised, I don’t know what to say. It’s a song about organ donation. – I don’t write a lot of songs, but I’m so pleased you appreciate this one”.
Bonnie also won Best Americana Performance for Made Up Mind* and Best American Roots Song for Just Like That.
