Description

Three-time GRAMMY® award winning pianist/singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby returns solo to The Plaza Live to showcase his newest work and timeless classics. Hornsby has built one of the most diverse, collaborative, and adventurous careers in contemporary music. He has collaborated with the Grateful Dead, Spike Lee, and Ricky Skaggs, to name a few. He became a global name in music by reimagining American roots forms as songs that moved with the atmospheric grace of jazz. “The Way It Is” defined sonic joy on the radio. Hornsby describes Absolute Zero, his new album, as “a compendium of what I like and moves me.” Don’t expect, perhaps, a thing or two new, but prepare for a multifaceted ride. Hornsby’s songs, both in spirit and memory, function collectively as an homage to fiction writing that, while often poetic, takes no prisoners. His performance will offer a glimpse of a restless spirit who continues to push forward into exciting new musical terrain.
