About

Ever since she took center stage in 1982 classic No. 1 “I Love Rock n’ Roll,” Joan Jett and her band scored hit after hit, ranging from the soft “Crimson and Clover” to the edgy “I Hate Myself for Loving You." After her much-publicized appearance in the 2013 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Jett reached out to a newer, younger generation of fans who totally rocked out to her high-energy vibe and powerhouse voice. The parade appearance topped off a banner year for Jett and her band, The Blackhearts, a year that included the release of “Unvarnished,” an album that spawned yet another Jett mega-hit, “Any Weather.” Even with her salty punk vibe, she quickly gained mainstream fame, so much so that Jett and her Blackhearts were the first rock group to perform on Broadway during the 1980s in a concert series that broke records for the fastest ticket sell-out.

Rejecting the glamorous pop-diva image, Jett has reveled in creating her own style of in-your-face, girl-from-the-other-side-of-the-tracks Gothic glamor that greatly influenced the subsequent generation of female rockers. A bona fide activist, Jett is considered a role model for generations of women because of her commitment to feminist causes. In addition, she is an outspoken animal rights activist and is heavily involved with groups like PETA. In 2010, Jett released a successful two-disc "Greatest Hits" album, which she followed in 2013 with “Unvarnished," a moving, uncompromising album. Jett is as much in the limelight as ever; and even her iconic “I Hate Myself For Loving You” has been transmogrified into the Sunday Night Football Theme for NBC. in 2014 Jett, along with her Blackhearts band, continue to tour throughout the world with her belty, tuneful voice; energetic, charismatic presence; and vibrant, resonating lyrics.

    Joan Jett still packs plenty of punch

    by tarryrob on 2011-10-20MTS Centre - Winnipeg, MB

    Joan Jett saddled into Winnipeg, bringing her sassy brand of rock n’roll to the MTS Centre. Riding a wave of renewed interest, thanks to the popularity of the biopic “The Runaways,” a flick about her former all female band, the singer-guitarist kicked off her 50 minute set (09/8/10) with the title track from her debut album “Bad Reputation.” Looking youthful, lean, and mean, despite having passed the 5 decade mark in age, Jett, attired in signature black, still has the pipes, the chops and the attitude that earned her the title “Queen of Rock N’ Roll.” Backed by the latest version of her longtime band The Blackhearts, the veteran rocker continued to embrace her roots, serving up a version of The Runaway’s most famous song, the sleazy “Cherry Bomb.” With a stage that was as stripped down as her music, Jet next dusted off the title soundtrack to “Light of Day,” a 1987 movie in which she co-starred with Canuck TV and movie star Michael J. Fox, followed by another tip of the hat to her former female quintet, a swaggering cover of the Gary Glitter hit also used in “The Runaways” movie, “Do You Wanna Touch Me.” A cover of Sweets “A.C.D.C” from Jett’s 9th studio album “Sinner” was followed by the Jett penned “You Drive Me Wild,” 2nd track from the “The Runaways” 1976 debut album. She then pulled the 1st of a trio of tracks from her 2nd studio album (the 1st with The Blackhearts), the whipcracking “Love is Pain” from, 1981s “I Love Rock n’ Roll,” which preceded “Fake Friends,” the lead single from her 3rd studio album. The homestretch featured another Jett penned Runaways’ track “School Days,” followed by her best known song, the 1981 rock anthem “I Love Rock n’ Roll,” which had the crowd pumping their fists in the air. Set closers included her hit cover of Tommy James and the Shondells’ “Crimson and Clover” and the 1988 top 10 hit “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” leaving the audience screaming for more, and giving headliners Aerosmith a hard run for their money.
