Joan Jett and The Blackhearts to perform Oct. 185 August 2014TULSA, Okla. -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Joan Jett and The Blackhearts are set to rock the stage on Oct. 18. The renowned rock ‘n’ roll guitarist will perform at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa. Tickets start at $45 and go on sale Aug. 21. Jett has released eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including “Cherry Bomb,” “Bad Reputation,” “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” “I Hate Myself For Loving You” and “Crimson and Clover.” She broke into the music scene in 1975 as a founding member of the pioneering all-girl teenage punk band The Runaways, which released five albums and became a worldwide hit before disbanding in 1979. “The Runaways” told the band’s story, with A-lister Kristen Stewart portraying Jett. In 2003, “Rolling Stone” ranked her No. 87 of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. She and Joni Mitchell were the only two women on the list. Today, Jett is continuously touring the world, creating new music and running her own independent label, Blackheart Records, which launched in 1980, making her the first female artist to own and operate an independent record company. Jett released her 13th studio album, “Unvarnished,” in Sept. 2013. |
