Prior to founding this all-female tribute to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Loretta was the founding member and lead singer for the band “Jett Set Salute”. Growing up in a musical family, Loretta sang on and off through the years. Besides Joan Jett, early influences include Pat Benatar. “My dream was to ultimately sing in an all-female band.” Loretta’s ability to capture the presence of Joan Jett, with her unmistakable raspy voice, AND looks (remarkably resembling Joan herself), brings a truly amazing musical tribute experience to the stage!
