HAMPTON ROADS— Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers bring the Indigo Park Tour to CNU’s Ferguson Center for the Arts on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026.
Based out of Williamsburg, Hornsby first rose to national prominence with The Way It Is, his 1986 Grammy-winning debut album with The Range. The title track became the most-played song on American radio in 1987, while Tupac Shakur’s timeless song “Changes” builds on “The Way It Is” and sets the stage for many subsequent versions of the track. In 1991, Hornsby collaborated with Bonnie Raitt, playing on her iconic hit “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
Known for blending jazz, bluegrass, rock, and pop with extensive improvisation, Bruce Hornsby leads core members JT Thomas, Bobby Reed, JV Collier, Doug Derryberry, and Sonny Emory in an eclectic live show.
