JOAN JETT

This is taken word for word from her website: "JOAN JETT has been called godmother to female musicians with loud guitars and idealistic dreams by The New York Times, as well as the queen of punk, the original riot grrrl, and the last rock star". We love JOAN JETT. This was her second show at Summerfest in three years and had just played in Milwaukee a few weeks before. You'd think the fatigue of playing the same place or the crowd's fickle desire to see something new would dampen the vibe. No way. She has become a favorite at the festival and is known as a professional through and through. A guaranteed great show.
It was packed, it was hot, and playing on the same night as NIN did nothing to stop this true rocker. She sings, she really plays the guitar, writes, composes and knows how to show you a good time. This aspect of live shows is missing form the over-dubbed playbacks of other female artists. When the mold broke, Joan arrived. Her sheer attitude about living life and having a great time doing it is infectous. Looking at the crowd of gen-x punks and young ones just coming of age proves that sheer talent sells. That and a great bod. Watching her bounce around, revving the audience on singing 'I Love Rock N' Roll' makes you a true believer that rock-no-roll is good for you.
With a band to back her voice and riffs, Joan covered many of the songs that make her so well loved. In addition, her new album SINNER was featured in the set with selections: "Androgynous", "Change the World" and "Five". And a cover of "Crimson and Clover" made everyone swoon. Yes, we swooned with JOAN JETT. And we're okay with that. So there.
