Mid-State Fair daily schedule for Thursday, July 18
Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo and Melissa Etheridge on stage at the Chumash Grandstand Arena
Special guest Melissa Etheridge hits the stage promptly at 7:30. Melissa Etheridge’s career includes over 25 million albums sold, 5 platinum and 3 multi-platinum records, 15 Grammy Award nominations and 2 wins, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and an Academy Award for “I Need to Wake Up” from the climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Her 1993 album Yes I Am featured the massive hits, “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window.” Her last release, Memphis Rock & Soul, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Blues Chart. Melissa has selflessly dedicated herself as an activist for human rights, LGBTQ issues, breast cancer awareness and alternative medical approaches. Melissa’s new album, The Medicine Show, was released in April.
Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo have been making music together for four decades. Pat and Neil met each other in 1979 for the first time in a small rehearsal room at SIR Studios in New York City. Pat Benatar’s staggering vocals and take-no-prisoners attitude, along with Neil Giraldo’s trailblazing artistry as a guitarist, producer, and songwriter forged the undeniable chemistry and unique sound that created some of rocks most memorable hits including: “We Belong,” “Invincible,” “Love Is A Battlefield,” “Promises In The Dark,” “We Live For Love.” Together they have created two multi-platinum, five platinum and three gold albums, as well as nineteen Top 40 hits. They have sold over thirty million records worldwide and have won an unprecedented four consecutive Grammy awards.
