John Hiatt at Sandler Center For The Performing Arts

About

After a quarter century of releasing records on major labels —five in all— John Hiatt kicked off a now-13-year run as an independent artist, recording 8 albums (a pair of albums with Vanguard before moving to New West, his label home for more than a decade).

With over 12 million records sold and his own line of Fender guitars, Robert Cray has established himself as a genre defining artist- breaking through the pop ceiling with his gate crashing/blues-edged trademark sound and distinct style that has become a signature blend of r&b, pop, rock, soul and traditional blues.
