Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Saturday, December 12 at 9 p.m.
Joan Jett is a true American original. While still in her early teens, Joan, often called "the girl Elvis", founded the all-girl rock group, The Runaways, whose hits such as "Cherry Bomb" made them an international sensation. She became the first woman in rock to own her own record label, Blackheart Records. There, her next group, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, became a staple in the Top 10 charts and claims the #28 song of all time, "I Love Rock n' Roll", which was number 1 on the Billboard charts for two months after 23 major record labels refused to give her a deal.
Joan starred in the Paul Schrader film Light Of Day, with Michael J. Fox, Jason Miller, Gena Rowlands, and Michael McKean. Her "bad guy" credits include playing an evil immortal in the Highlander television series, and she played a contract killer and reached a pinnacle in action film when she got to fight a martial-arts battle to the death with the legendary Chuck Norris.
Joan will appear in the indie film The Sweet Life premiering at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival. This
romantic comedy, by the team that created The Substitute film series, will have Joan Jett and The Blackhearts singing the title song.
On Broadway, Joan was in the original cast of the hit, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Joan Jett continues to be one of the most durable live concert attractions, and has set a standard for women in the industry.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts were nominated for a Grammy Award "Best Rock Performance By A Group" for "I Hate Myself Of Loving You" in 1989.
In Billboard alone: 3 top ten records, and 7 other Billboard top 100 entries:
