[BLUES/ROCK] The queen of slide guitar, Bonnie Raitt, has been perfecting her craft since she was a teenager. But she only started to take it seriously during college. Before graduating she met Dick Waterman, a prominent blues promoter at that time. Then she planed to take just a semester off so that she could go to Philadelphia where Waterman and other musicians had relocated. But she never made it back to college and thus her music career was born. Scouts for major record labels started showing interest in her music and she eventually released her self-titled album in 1971 with Warner Bros. It wasn't until 1989 that she achieved monumental commercial success; she won three Grammy awards that year with the album Nick of Time. In 2000, Raitt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fans of Raitt are glad she never finished her degree in African Studies, where she would've ended up in Tanzania. Tickets: $35, $45, $55. Call 242-7469 or visit www.mauiarts.org. [KEITH BENEDICT]
