About Pat Benatar

Pat Benatar is an American rock and pop singer-songwriter whose catalog helped define arena-ready AOR in the late 1970s and 1980s. Her recording career includes multi‑platinum releases, a run of Billboard Top 40 singles, and four Grammy wins, alongside a long-standing creative partnership with guitarist Neil Giraldo. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, she remains closely associated with a band-centered live format.
