Best known for her work as the bassist and lead singer of Alt-Rock band, Concrete Blonde, Johnette Napolitano is a multifaceted talent: songwriter, poet, sculptor, and soundtrack artist. Her career with Concrete Blonde began in the late 1980’s on the fringes of L.A.’s New Wave and Punk scene. After signing with IRS records they found a home on college radio alongside labelmates like R.E.M. In 1990 they released the classic album, Bloodletting, featuring Roxy Music’s Paul Thompson on drums. The album was certified Gold, and spent twenty one weeks on the Billboard charts. Between Concrete Blonde releases, Napolitano spent time as the lead singer for The Heads, a reformed Talking Heads featuring Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth. She also began releasing solo albums, including Sound Of A Woman (produced between 1996 and 1997), and Scarred (2007). She has contributed music to films and television shows like Underworld, Candy, Point Break, and The Soprano’s. Her mercurial talents have won her a cult following, and kept her touring and producing with a truly unique voice since 1982. Concert Tickets $32
