Bruce Hornsby Announces New Album “Indigo Park”, Shares Title Track
American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby has announced his upcoming album “Indigo Park” will be released on April 3, 2026 via Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers.
It is his first album in two years, following the 2024 album “BrhyM, Deep Sea Vents”.
From the album, he unveiled the title track “Indigo Park” as the first single on February 4, 2026.
On the track, he looks back on a 10th grade party at the Indigo Park Pool in Williamsburg, Virginia, when a “great big entrance” went awry.
It was written by and produced by Bruce Hornsby, with production by Tony Berg and Will Maclellan.
The accompanying music video was directed by Rex Teese.
Bruce Hornsby said of the song, “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 new album comprises 10 tracks, including two songs co-written with the late Robert Hunter, lyricist for American rock band Grateful Dead, and features collaborations with the late Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, American singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt, American rock band Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, and American singer-songwriter Blake Mills.
It is a collection of songs that oscillate between extremes, light and dark, memory and fantasy, calm and rage, doubt and certainty.
He contemplates formative moments from his past, sometimes trying to resolve them, and other times looking for clues about his current-day outlook. -
Last month, Grateful Dead's guitarist Bob Weir died at age of 78.
Bruce Hornsby recorded with Bob Weir on the 10th track “Might As Well Be Me, Florinda” in this album. The track was co-written by Robert Hunter.
Bruce Hornsby shared, “Bobby Weir was one of my favorite musician friends, and for that matter, one of my favorite people anywhere. This hits hard. We just worked together in 2025 on some new music and had a joyful time with it. This piece, a song I wrote with Robert Hunter, will stand as our mutual final collaboration, and I will always cherish it, along with all the times we played together through the years, from 1988 until last year. Sometimes it was pretty freaking magical. I love you, Bob, and will always fondly remember our many moments, so often transcendent, throwing chords and notes around in space, through the air, together.”
