About

Joan Jett grew up during a time when rock 'n' roll was off limits to girls and women, but as a teenager, she promptly blasted the door to the boys' club right off its hinges. After forming her band the Blackhearts in 1979, with whom Jett has become a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, she has had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics "Bad Reputation," "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," "I Hate Myself For Loving You," and "Crimson and Clover." With a career that has spanned music, film, television, Broadway, and humanitarianism, Joan Jett remains a potent force and inspiration to generations of fans worldwide. As a producer, she has overseen seminal albums by Bikini Kill, and the Germs' LA punk masterpiece 'GI.' Jett and Kenny Laguna (her longtime producer and music partner) co-founded Blackheart Records from the trunk of Kenny's Cadillac after rejections from no less than 23 labels. 40 years later, Blackheart is a thriving entertainment company producing music, film and television, and continues to champion emerging bands. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts continue to tour the world with headlining shows and alongside fellow rock legends like The Who, Green Day, Heart, Foo Fighters and Alanis Morrissette (Summer 2024). 'Bad Reputation,' a documentary about Jett's life, premiered to critical acclaim at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Following up on the band's 2022 release Changeup, their first-ever acoustic album, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' EP Mindsets was released as a Record Store Day First vinyl piece on 11/24/23. Mindsets is available to stream now.

    Joan Jett rocked it!

    by Jujee66 on 5/24/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    The concert was amazing! Joan Jett sounded as good as she did 20 years ago. The venue was good. Would have liked to of had more room to dance. I was a little squished.

    Rock with Heart and Soul

    by RockRollGirrl on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    Joan put her whole heart and all 100 pounds of herself into rockin the crowd. I saw her last time she was at the Emerald Queen Casino in Fife, WA and she was ten time better this time. She gave a excellent show then too, but she was energized. Though I think hold ups in Minneapolis and the rush to get a private charter to make the show to a sold out concert wore down the band a little. But she made it anyway, that is professionalism. You can tell the band and Joan didn't get much rest when she addressed the crowd. Could not tell at all when they were playing. Good mix of the beginning stuff from the Runaways, classic rock and some of her new stuff.

    Joan Jett Rocked!

    by Caranlee on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    It has been a long time since I have seen a show that really ROCKED! Joan Jett and the Blackhearts went right into the music and didn't mess around -- they truly rocked. Their sound was incredible and hard charging...I loved it! You could see they enjoyed rocking out by their actions and expressions. The show was a mass of energy! Thank YOU!!!!!

    She still a rocker babe!!!!!

    by Cheffy001 on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    The concert was so awesome had a great time listening to all the good music she had played over the years. Only problem I had was the vocal volume need to be louder. the Entrance to the Auditorium was ridiculus had to go thru a Smoking section of the Casinio in order to get into the non-smoking section and the Event. As soon you leave people light up with smioke into your face.

    She's STILL got IT!

    by P8RIOT on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    Even after having to charter their own jet to get out to Tacoma for the show. They made it. The show started a little late (about 15 mins) but was well worth it. The venue had to be the best (for a small venue) that I've been to. Easy access to the highway and barely a 10 minute wait to get there. Joan Jett did not disappoint! She played all her trademark songs talked a bit to the crowd and got everyone involved. Myself and a best friend had a great time! I'd definitely see her again!

    Joan Jett was amazing

    by DanAndCindy on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    I loved the way she got in there and played the guitar. You don't see that with the new female artists. Joan was amazing. She sounded just as good as if you were listening to a CD!

    Joan Jett was awesome!!!!

    by J9Saunders on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    I've always love Joan but for one reason or another I've never seen her live. I now kick myself for having waited this long. She is a phenomenal artist and is incredible live. I can't wait for her to come back so I can see her again.

    Joan Jett

    by scocurti on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    Simply Amazing! I had seen that the band played in North Dakota the night before so figured to get to Tacoma would be tough. Turns out Minn St. Paul was closed (storms, tornados), so they chartered a plane to get to us! Very cool., All the songs, lots of audience participation!! Everyone had a great time. Joan looks great, but it is the attitude that is infectuous. They do need to turn up lead guitar a little. Drummer was money! Will see her again for sure.

    Great Rockin' Show!

    by manfromplanettom on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    Briefly, this show couldn't have been improved upon. When you have a body of work like Joan's, it is hard to come up with a poor set-list, but she made all the right choices. She couldn't rock harder onstage. Saw her perform about 20 years ago, and this show may have been even better. She looked fantastic and sounded better than ever. Band was super-tight as well. Plus it was cool to have Kenny Laguna sit in with the band. Thanks for everything, Joan. Hope to see you again sometime soon.

    JJ Rocked OUT

    by 1CockerFAN on 5/23/11Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    Outstanding show, look forward to seeing you again in the summer. JJ was forced to charter a plane when power went out at the airport they were flying out from. Appeared that her mike was not plugged in when the came on stage but after a couple opening riffs JJ sang her ass off. Especially great show for a 50 something gal.
