Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Webster & Associates) Rock star Pat Benatar and legendary producer/musician/arranger/co-writer Neil Giraldo are generating phenomenal headlines and rave reviews while on tour this summer. The powerhouse couple has launched a concert tour with
Journey &
Loverboy that includes shows across the U.S. as well as stops in Canada.
Here's a glimpse of what's being said:
"It was all about Pat Benatar. Yes I know that
Journey headlined Saturday night's packed Gexa
Energy Pavilion concert. And
Loverboy was also in the house; they went on first when the sun was still bright and hot. But for me, Benatar's 55-minute set smack dab in the middle of the triumvirate was the absolute highlight of the evening."

Mario Tarradell, The Dallas Morning News
"Yes, Pat Benatar's voice still is the eighth wonder of the world. The four-time Grammy Award-winning rock singer always sounded terrific and unmatched back in the days of vinyl, and she sounds super impressive on the stage today. Thirty years after releasing her genre-bending album, "Get Nervous," — and three decades after marrying her guitarist-band leader, Neil Giraldo — Benatar still brings her A-game and rock and roll's greatest smile to the spotlight."
- Scott Smith, Real Rock News
I arrived at the stunning Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center just as Pat Benatar began ripping into "Invincible," and that was all I needed to hear to lay my irritation to rest….The chemistry between Benatar and her husband/guitarist Neil Giraldo shined on an out-of-this-world interpretation of "
We Belong" that separated itself from a set already littered with classic rock staples, so that will remain the moment that sticks with me long after the summer comes to a close.

Hits by Benatar and Giraldo include "Love Is a Battlefield," "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," "Heartbreaker," "Promises in the Dark," and "We Belong." Career highlights for the timeless music icons include multi-platinum albums, top 40 singles, Grammy and American
Music Awards.
