Pat Benetar & Neil Giraldo
Classically trained, powerfully talented and a feminist icon, Pat Benatar is a rock-and-roll heroine with a fascinating past and 14 Top 40 singles, not to mention two multi-platinum and five platinum albums. But it isn’t just her skills with music and lyrics that make her so popular, Benatar has inspired nearly every contemporary female pop and rock singer because she seems so invincible and yet so accessible. Confidently pumping out forceful anthems like “Hit Me with Your Best Shot”, “Love is a Battlefield” and “Heartbreaker”, she continually crafts smart, catchy tunes that reiterate her prowess and speak to audiences, both male and female.
Benatar is touring with her husband, Neil Giraldo, who has an impressive back catalog of music that includes more than 100 songs written, produced, arranged and recorded for Benatar, as well as many hits he helped create for other major artists. Giraldo is more than an explosive steel-bending guitar player, his innovative vision helped create the signature Benatar sound from its inception.
Melissa Etheridge
Melissa Etheridge has traveled her own road to stardom beginning with her underground hit “Bring Me Some Water” that made its way to mainstream play and earned Melissa her first Grammy nomination. Since then, she has shared her confessional lyrics in a unique pop-based folk-rock style, with hits “Ain’t It Heavy,” “I’m the Only One,” and “Come to My Window.”
