Everyone knows that behind every great woman is a whole lot of her hard work, but legendary singer Pat Benatar also just so happens to have her lead guitarist and producer, Neil Giraldo, who also happens to be her husband, by her side, too.
The duo has been working together since 1979 and married since 1982, and their run includes some of the best pop-rock songs in history (“Hit Me With Your Best Shot, “Love is a Battlefield.”) And let’s not forget the greatest movie themes of all time—“Invincible" from "Legend of Billie Jean." The couple brings all its hits to Clearwater for a Sunday night show with “Missing You” singer John Waite opening.
Masks are optional if you are vaccinated, if you’re not please wear one—“Fair is fair!”
Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo w/John Waite. Sunday, Oct. 17, 8 p.m. $54-$250. Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater. rutheckerdhall.com
