Bonnie Raitt is a singer, songwriter and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop. After 20 years as a cult favorite, she broke through to the top in the early 90s with her GRAMMY-award winning albums, 'Nick of Time' and 'Luck of the Draw,' which featured hits, "Something To Talk About" and "I Can't Make You Love Me" among others. The thirteen-time Grammy winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace #54 on their recently updated list of the “250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”
Raitt’s widely-acclaimed 2012 independent release 'Slipstream' sold over a quarter-million copies, making it one of the top selling independent albums, and earned Raitt her 10th Grammy Award (Best Americana Album). In February 2016, Raitt released her highly-anticipated 20th album, 'Dig In Deep' (Redwing Records.) On tour for much of 2017-2019, Raitt and her band performed overseas in Australia, New Zealand as well as Canada before spending the summers touring as support for James Taylor in stadiums and arenas across the U.S., United Kingdom and Europe.
As known for her lifelong commitment to social activism as she is for her music, Raitt has long been involved with the environmental movement, performing concerts around oil, nuclear power, mining, water and forest protection since the mid 70's. She was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy) which produced the historic concerts, album and movie NO NUKES and continues to work on safe energy issues in addition to environmental protection, social justice and human rights, as well as creator’s rights and music education.

Crowned by Vulture as “stand-up comedy’s most prolific storyteller,” Ali Siddiq has built a dedicated massive fanbase clamoring to attend his live shows and watch his masterful independently produced and released specials. He premiered his four-part stand-up series The Domino Effect 1-4 in 2022-2024 which has amassed over 47 million views. The storytelling saga cemented Ali’s reputation as a master craftsman of narrative comedy. Each chapter became a cultural event, landing Ali among the top-viewed comedians on YouTube year after year.
Also during that time, Ali released the special Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover (2023) which has amassed 6 million views. In 2025 alone he released 3 more hour standup specials, My Two Sons (12M+ views), Rugged (7M+ views) and Mondays (3M+ views). Deadline included Ali in their list of “Comics Who Won 2025” and My Two Sons earned Siddiq a 2026 NAACP Nomination for “Outstanding Variety Series or Special.” He will be releasing 3 more new hour specials in 2026 that have already been filmed. An emerging comedy mogul, Ali also executive-produces and distributes multiple specials for other comedians including Malik S. and Ryan Davis, with a 2nd special from Marcus D. Wiley coming up on February 1.
From Houston, TX, Ali developed his unmistakable voice in one of the most unlikely places — behind the walls of incarceration, where storytelling was survival, currency, and community. Comedy Central would later sent him back inside a Texas jail to film It’s Bigger Than These Bars (4M+ views). Today, that same voice has made him one of the most watched, respected, and consistently viral comedians in the world.
