THE ROCKING DEAD | Jett Threatt

On March 21, spring creeps in and the volume goes way up. It’s time to shake off winter and warm up for party rock season with one of the area’s most over-the-top tributes to the legends of rock and roll: The Rocking Dead. This is rock from beyond the grave. A nonstop celebration of the iconic and very departed titans of the genre, The Rocking Dead brings the music back to life with full zombie makeup, outrageous outfits, and performances so animated they might just raise the dead. Equal parts concert and spectacle, it’s loud, theatrical, and unapologetically fun. Opening the night is Jett Threatt, a tribute worthy of the queen of black hearts herself. Led by Karie Skogman and backed by an ensemble of local heavy-hitters, this set rips through the canon of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts with swagger, grit, and zero apologies. Spring is in the air. The amps are on. The dead are rocking.
