Description
Joan Jett gained popularity in the 80's, stripping down traditional rock n' roll and adding a bit of glam and an uncharacteristic rasp. Joan Jett's androgynous nature made her stand out even more among her contemporaries, taking a classic three-chord, hook ridden approach, and never once stopping to hide her general bad-assery. She is especially known for her work with The Blackhearts in the 80's, their most famous song being the foot-stomping, hand-clapping tune "I Love Rock n' Roll." Even after her 80's heyday, Joan Jett is still making records, her most recent being 2006's punk-tinged "Sinner." Tonight, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts return to the stage at the Pacific Amphitheatre.
