Gwen Stefani Tickets in Phoenix

By: Spencinator    Category: Dodge Theatre, Concerts

I saw No Doubt a few years ago and they were good. Now Gwen Stefani is on her own and doing well. Go and see her at the Dodge theater here in Phoenix. Here is some info from her wiki:

Gwen Renée Stefani (born October 3, 1969) (IPA pronunciation: [gwɛn stɛ’fɑn.ni]) is an American singer, songwriter, fashion designer and occasional actress. Stefani debuted in 1992 as the frontwoman of the third wave ska band No Doubt, whose 1995 album Tragic Kingdom propelled them to stardom, selling sixteen million copies worldwide. It spawned the singles “Just a Girl”, “Spiderwebs”, and the airplay number-one “Don’t Speak”. The band’s popularity went into decline with its third album Return of Saturn (2000), but Rock Steady (2001) introduced dancehall and reggae production into its music, which generally received positive reviews.

Stefani recorded her first solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. in 2004. The album was primarily inspired by music of the 1980s, taking Stefani’s work further into pop, R&B, and dance music, and enjoyed international success with sales of over seven million. The album’s third single “Hollaback Girl” became the first U.S. digital download to sell one million copies. Stefani’s second solo album The Sweet Escape (2006) yielded “Wind It Up”, a moderate worldwide success. Including her work with No Doubt, Stefani has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

In the media, Stefani is known as a fashion trendsetter. In 2003, she debuted her clothing line L.A.M.B. and expanded her collection with the 2005 Harajuku Lovers line. Drawing inspiration from Japanese culture and fashion, Stefani performs and makes public appearances with four back-up dancers known as the Harajuku Girls, and has drawn accusations of racism for the subject. She is married to post-grunge musician Gavin Rossdale, and the two have a son.

Pat Benatar Tickets in Phoenix

Pat Benatar is one of my in-law’s favoriate performers. She is coming to the Dodge Theater soon here in Phoenix so get your tickets soon. Here is some info from her wiki:

Pat Benatar was born in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York to a Polish/Irish family. She initially studied voice and opera, following in the footsteps of her mother while growing up in Lindenhurst, New York, on Long Island.[1]

A 1971 graduate of Lindenhurst High School, in 1971 she married her high school sweetheart, Dennis T. Benatar, acquiring the surname with which she became famous. Dennis also has a sister named Pat Benatar.

She immediately moved to Richmond, Virginia with her husband, where she worked as a bank clerk and sang gigs at night. She would later remark that her time at the bank was unpleasant, partly because of her obsession with keeping all the bills face up and turned in the same direction, causing her to be one of the slowest tellers. She and her husband moved to New York City in 1975, and the two divorced in 1979.
