Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo in Concert
August 10th, 2010
7:30pm (Gates open at 6pm)
at ABQ BioPark Rio Grande Zoo
Polished, mainstream rock made Pat Benatar one of the most popular female vocalists of the early '80s. Benatar began singing regularly in the New York City area by the '70s, where she was discovered at the Catch a Rising Star club and signed by Chrysalis Records. A stellar band led by guitarist Neil Giraldo provided the perfect accompaniment, effortlessly alternating between rockers and ballads.
Benatar quickly established herself as one of rock's top vocalists, scoring a hit with her debut album, 1979's In the Heat of the Night, which spawned such radio favorites as "Heartbreaker" and "I Need a Lover" (the latter of which was written by a then-unknown John Mellencamp).
This fundraiser concert is sponsored by the New Mexico BioPark Society.
