Vixen at Tupelo Music HallWhen: Thursday, January 8, 2026 at 8:00 PM
Price: $50
Details: THERE IS ONLY ONE ALL-FEMALE HARD ROCK BAND FROM THE 80'S WHO: Sold over a MILLION albums, had SIX #1 videos on MTV, and had FOUR songs in Billboard's Top 100!
Vixen was founded in St. Paul, MN by high-schooler guitarist Jan Kuehnemund. The desire to achieve rock star dreams like so many before her, Jan took her group to Hollywood but soon retooled the line-up, which included; vocalist Janet Gardner, drummer Roxy Petrucci and bassist Share Ross (Pedersen).
In 1987, executives at EMI Records decided to roll the dice with Vixen, breaking stereotypes by promoting a band fronted by women in the male-dominated club of hard rock. EMI released their eponymous debut album "Vixen" featuring the groups' first hit "Edge of a Broken Heart" penned by Richard Marx and Fee Waybill (The Tubes). MTV became Vixen's playground and so coupled with exhaustive touring Vixen embarked on their ride.
Piling on more hits the band charted Billboard at #22 with ballad, "Cryin" and ''Loue Made Me" at #36. The road continued to call opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, Eddie Money and many others. Vixen had firmly distinguished themselves as a premier rock act to be taken seriously.
