John Hiatt plans to take the stage at 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, at The Waterville Opera House, 1 Common St. in Waterville.
A master lyricist and satirical storyteller, Hiatt delivers songs filled with tales of redemption, relationships and surrendering on his own terms. Hiatt’s finest album is 1987’s “Bring the Family;” other catalog highlights include the pop and rock of 1983’s “Riding with the King,” the rough-hewn blues-rock of 2008’s “Same Old Man,” and 2021’s “Leftover Feelings.”
His lyrics and melodies have graced more than 20 studio albums, have been recorded by Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and scores of others, and have earned him a place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, a BMI Troubadour award, and a lifetime achievement in songwriting designation from the Americana Music Association.
