Today, Bruce Hornsby releases the title track and first single from his forthcoming album, Indigo Park, arriving April 3rd on Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers. Produced by Tony Berg, Will Maclellan and Bruce Hornsby, Indigo Park is a collection of 10 songs that oscillate between extremes – light and dark, memory and fantasy, calm and rage, doubt and certainty. Backed by his longtime band, The Noisemakers, as well as guitarist Blake Mills, bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Chris Dave, the record features collaborations with artists who have served as mutual inspirations throughout the many phases of his storied career: Bob Weir, Bonnie Raitt, Ezra Koenig and Robert Hunter, detailed in the newly revealed tracklisting below.

While Bruce Hornsby's discography has delivered a catalog of enduring hits, commercial successes and critical acclaim, Indigo Park sees the singer, pianist, composer, bandleader and three-time GRAMMY®-winner defying conventional wisdom. He deploys absurdism, altered dominant chords, literary references, melodies with wide interval leaps, changes of meter and texture, extended refrains and deep metaphors, all coalescing in a multi-dimensional inquiry into the ways we remember and the ways we forget. 

With the exception of two songs co-written with late Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter ("Alabama" and "Might As Well Be Me, Florinda"), Indigo Park finds Hornsby singing more in the first-person than he ever has. He contemplates formative moments from his past, sometimes trying to resolve them, and other times looking for clues about his current-day outlook. In the title track, the first song he wrote for the album, Hornsby looks back on a 10th grade party at the Indigo Park Pool in Williamsburg, Virginia, when a "great big entrance" went awry. A seemingly mundane event that now feels revelatory when filtered through the present state-of-mind. 

Bruce Hornsby says, "It's just an old bastard, looking back. To be honest, I've found a way, a path to grow old gracefully, with help from some newborn friends of mine."

The creation of Indigo Park began in 2024, as Bruce Hornsby was turning 70. After releasing a streak of four albums in five years – Absolute Zero (2019), Non-Secure Connection (2020), 'Flicted (2022) and Deep Sea Vents (2024) – he was burnt out and tried his best to stop writing for a bit. That plan did not last, and Indigo Park marks the latest evolution for a legendary artist who only gets more contemporary, curious and creative with age. Ever-expanding his stylistic toolbox, he has long traveled far beyond the confines of pop and into the worlds of rock, bluegrass, jazz, classical, electronic and more, but Indigo Park captures one of music's most adventurous, collaborative and accomplished artists at the top of his game. 

In addition to Indigo Park, 2026 brings the 40th anniversary of The Way It Is, both the album and its #1 single. Since its release, Bruce Hornsby has played Saturday Night Live, composed numerous scores and songs for close collaborator Spike Lee (Kobe Doin' Work, Netflix's She's Gotta Have It, BlacKkKlansman and much more), contributed to the soundtrack for Ken Burns' Baseball, toured for years as a member of the Grateful Dead, made two records with Ricky Skaggs and an album with Christian McBride and Jack DeJohnette (Camp Meeting), while co-writing and recording with Bon Iver, and working with everyone from Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, Chaka Khan, Elton John, Jerry Garcia, Mavis Staples, Ornette Coleman, Robbie Robertson, Stevie Nicks, Sting, Wayne Shorter and Willie Nelson to Brandon Flowers, Danielle Haim, Goose, Jamila Woods and yMusic. 

Alongside The Noisemakers, Bruce Hornsby will perform music from Indigo Park and his past four decades on a headline tour of two dozen shows across the US this spring and summer. Find the list of dates below, and tickets at brucehornsby.com/#tour.
