Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo met for the first time in 1979, in a small rehearsal
room at SIR studios in New York City. The rest as they say, “is history.” Pat Benatar’s
staggering vocal range and Neil Giraldo’s trailblazing artistry as a guitarist,
producer, songwriter and arranger, forged the undeniable chemistry and unprecedented
sound that created some of rock’s most memorable hits, including “Love Is a Battlefield,”
“Heartbreaker,” “We Live for Love,” “We Belong,” and the signature, “Promises in
The Dark.”
Together they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won an unprecedented four consecutive Grammy awards. Benatar and Giraldo married in 1982 and they have two grown daughters. Their rock and roll love affair has endured for more than three and a half decades. Theirs is a chemistry that will undoubtedly be thrilling music fans forever.
That chemistry is fueling their current tour where they delve into their extensive
repertoire to play a variety of songs that range from their biggest hits to some
of their newer material.
