WALDOBORO — Katie Matzell debuts her "Love Letter" to Bonnie Raitt, whom she calls her favorite artist of all time and greatest musical influence, Sunday, March 23, at 4 p.m., at The Waldo Theatre.

Join in the celebration of the music of Bonnie Raitt, as Matzell and band cover the hits and deep cuts that span her decades-long career in music. Matzell will be performing with her stacked band of musicians: Cilla Bonnie, bass and vocals; Max Cantlin, guitar and vocals; Sean Morin, guitar and vocals; Dawson Hill, keyboard and vocals; Chris Sweet, drums; Emma Stanley, trumpet; John MacLaine, trombone; and Andrew Halchak, saxophone and flute.

 Matzell and the band will be joined by a very special guest, Larry John McNally, a Bangor native who penned "Nobody's Girl" and "Slow Ride" for Raitt. LJM continues to record and perform both as a solo artist and with his trio in clubs and concert venues from Tokyo to Kokomo. He is well known in many circles as a songwriter's songwriter. His moody, guitar-driven, lyrical, thoughtful songs have been covered by artists from Don Henley (who rarely does outside songs) to Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Jennifer Warnes, the Staple Singers and Aaron Neville.

"LJM's own recordings are coveted treasures among his devotees and delightful finds for those who happen upon them for the first time," said The Waldo, in a news release.

Katie Matzell is a singer, songwriter, and performer from Portland, who released her debut EP in 2018, followed by a series of singles and live recordings.

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.
