Pat Benatar, one of the most recognized, admired and popular rock performers, will appear at the Andy Williams Moon River Theatre in Branson on Monday, August 27th at 7:00pm. The concert is being presented jointly by the Moon River Theater and Welk-Sullivan productions.
Benatar’s hit songs “Love Is A Battlefield,” “Hit me with your Best Shot,” “Invincible,” “We Belong” and “Heartbreaker” became anthems for a new generation of young women, and the young men who loved them, at the dawn of MTV. Of her nine original albums released between 1979 and 1989, seven were certified platinum and two achieved gold status. During that decade, Benatar was nominated nine times for Grammy awards for Best Rock Performance (female), winning an unprecedented four Grammy awards in consecutive years.
In August 2003 Benatar released her first album of new songs in seven years titled “GO,” a contemporary guitar-driven record, on Bel Chiasso Records, distributed through the Welk Music Group.
