King Center Presents Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo Feb 12th

King Center for the Performing Arts

A four-time Grammy winner, Pat Benatar is a classically trained mezzo-soprano. Now, after more than three decades in rock ‘n’ roll, she’s a bonafide living legend. During the 1980s, Benatar had multiple Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold albums which included her 19 Top 40 singles, which produced such hits as Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Love Is a Battlefield, We Belong and Invincible. During the early days of MTV Benatar was one of the most heavily played artists. Her hits continue to be as unforgettable now as they were at the dawn of MTV, when Pat emerged, fearless, fighting and forging a path for other female rock stars around the world.

Neil "Spyder“ James Giraldo, has been a professional musician, producer, arranger and songwriter for over four decades now, changing the face of the pop charts throughout the 1980s with his collaborator, muse and wife, Pat Benatar. More than just an explosive steel bending guitar player, Giraldo’s innovative vision helped him create the signature Benatar sound, from its inception. His impressive back catalog includes more than 100 songs written, produced, arranged and recorded for Benatar, as well as many hits he helped create for John Waite, Rick Springfield (Jessie’s Girl and I’ve Done Everything For You), Kenny Loggins (Don’t Fight It), and countless others.
