Today, Bruce Hornsby releases his new album, Indigo Park, a collection of 10 songs that "ponder memory, creativity and time, mingling thoughts on science and eternity with rare bits of autobiography," writes Jon Pareles, in the first New York Times profile of Hornsby's 40-year career. Produced by Tony Berg, Will Maclellan and Bruce Hornsby, the music of Indigo Park oscillates between extremes – light and dark, memory and fantasy, calm and rage, doubt and certainty – and features artists who have served as mutual inspirations throughout the many phases of Hornsby's past four decades: his final collaboration with former Grateful Dead bandmate Bob Weir, reunions with Bonnie Raittand Ezra Koenig, and two songs written with late Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. Indigo Park also includes contributions from guitarist Blake Mills, bassist Pino Palladino, drummer Chris Dave and Bruce Hornsby's longtime band, The Noisemakers, with whom he will headline more than 50 tour dates across the US this spring, summer and fall. Find the list of dates below, and tickets at brucehornsby.com/#tour.

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.

"The guy is just still diving deep and improving and playing hours a day and stretching. He's the one musician I would have if I could only have one on a desert island," says Bonnie Raitt to the New York Times, who reconnects with Hornsby on Indigo Park's "Ecstatic." Watch the music video starring the the LSU Tigers Women's Basketball Team: HERE

"Sometimes people who write a timeless hit search for their next hit, well past the time when it's feasible to have a hit," adds Ezra Koenig. "With Bruce, obviously, he's proud of the work he did, but it doesn't define him. That kind of bravery — to push into territory that has very little in common with your best-known work — is inspiring."

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. Hear more in recent interviews with How Long Gone and Ezra Koenig's Time Crisis. 

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.

Praise For Indigo Park

"Bruce Hornsby still isn't playing it safe...Admired by a new generation including Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, his new album, Indigo Park, keeps pushing forward"

The New York Times 

"The chromatic stuff unsettles you, then he gives you the satisfying resolutions your ears are craving. At points, Indigo Park feels like a new kind of pop"

The Guardian

"The Hornsbissaince continues with a diverse album that reflects the gigantic and exploratory spirit of the songwriter...bringing people together and bringing out their best, finding the strange resolution in all the dissonance. Turns out, there's no greater high on earth"

Pitchfork

"Indigo Park nods to the varied interests he's touched on in recent years while still feeling sonically cohesive, a cross-generational offering...one of his most lyrically reflective song cycles in some time—a look back on his singular journey"

Relix

"Effortlessly one of the most intriguing, accomplished, inventive and rewarding records of Hornsby's long career…resolutely, restlessly pushing envelopes"

Record Collector 

"A beautiful, charming, surprising single...crystalline and electronic in a way I associate with genre-blurring festival acts like Haim and Mura Masa"
