Bonnie Raitt Bends Time at the Winspear Opera House

“Every moment there’s a chance for redemption,” Bonnie Raitt said Sunday, adjusting the acoustic guitar slung across her body.

Her fingers teasing fleeting notes from the fretboard, the 75-year-old singer-songwriter was about to perform the title track of her most recent studio album, 2022’s Just Like That … and her observation — simple and well-worn though it may be — was about the fictional woman at the center of the song’s narrative.

Bonnie is so grateful for this rave review in The Guardian but wants to also acknowledge the crucial contributions to the success of these shows from her stellar band and crew. Knocking it out if the park every night is her longtime rhythm section, Hutch Hutchinson (bass), Ricky Fataar(drums); new members Glenn Patscha (keys), Duke Levine (guitars), all of them singing backup as well. Equally brilliant are her sound and light team, aided by an incomparable stage and production crew. Not for a moment does she feel she got here by herself.

Bonnie Raitt is nothing if not generous, and during her 90 minutes on stage at Leader Bank Pavilion Friday night, that characteristic showed up again and again. She made sure the audience knew who was playing with her by introducing her band (including Boston’s own guitar master Duke Levine — “hometown team!,” Raitt exclaimed) after the second song instead of toward the show’s end.
