PAT BENATAR and NEIL GIRALDO

More than two decades ago, Pat Benatar began breaking rules and blazed a new trail for female rock stars. Pat was bold, self-assured, and independent. She was alluring but not exploitive. She was vulnerable but not weak. She was strong-minded without being hardhearted.

Songs such as Love Is a Battlefield, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, We Live For Love, and Heartbreaker became anthems for a new attitude. At the dawn of MTV, Benatar was the image of the female rocker for an entire generation of young woman, and the young men who loved them. That generation has grown up with her and others have walked down the path she helped pave.

Still going strong, Benatar has been married for 23 years to guitarist, songwriter producer, collaborator and soul mate Neil Giraldo . The parents of two daughters, Pat and Neil have been touring almost non-stop for over two decades.

Twenty-five years after starting her recording career, Pat has found that unique balance between family and career. Continuing to do what she loves, Pat Benatar is still rocking.

The MOTELS, featuring Martha Davis

The MOTELS will make a special guest appearance with Pat and Neil.

The voice is unique, unmistakable and timeless. Los Angeles Times’ Robert Hilburn called Martha Davis “arguably the most charismatic female performer in rock.” Martha began writing songs at the age of 15. Born and raised in Berkeley, CA., she moved to Los Angeles in the early ‘70s, along with the first incarnation of The Motels. The band reformed in 1978 and was immediately signed to Capitol in 1979.

Martha later left center stage to work on various collaborations with artists including Ivan Neville, Arthur Barrow (Frank Zappa), Jeff Daniel, Kiki Dee, Richard Feldman, written songs for a new musical for the Civic Light Opera, and a new musical of her own entitled Rebecca, and is now involved in producing a children’s music project. Additionally, Martha is back on the scene with her newly formed band and plays regularly to packed houses.
