At an event co-hosted by Spotify and AmericanaFest, Sheryl Crow performed a special Tuesday afternoon set at Cannery Ballroom and brought special guests Bonnie Raitt and Jade Bird on stage to support her. Crow performed a number of her best-loved hits — including “If It Makes You Happy” and “Every Day Is A Winding Road” — as well as a handful of tracks from her recently released collaborative album, Threads. Raitt appears on the Threads track “Live Wire,” and she and Crow offered the AmericanaFest crowd a special live performance of that powerful song.
Crow appears on the cover of American Songwriter‘s new September October issue. In her cover interview, she discusses her legacy as an artist, the genesis of Threads and the powerful experiences she had collaborating with a new generation of songwriters.
