For all of us who loved the rock ‘n roll icon TINA TURNER, losing her this past May 24th was tough. The iconic performer from Nutbush Tennessee has been part of our lives for the past 50+ years not only as the Queen of Rock but as a strong proud survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of her then husband, Ike Turner. She overcame those hardships and forged an international career full of brilliant music and stage performances.
Oh, and the occassional film…who doesn’t adore her Acid Queen in Tommy or Auntie Entity in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome?
Local fans of Tina have put together a tribute show to honor Miss Tina and it’s happening July 1st at The Showbox and features a slew of amazing female talents including:
Adra Boo, Brittany Davis, Stephanie Anne Johnson, Maya Marie, Marquetta Miller, Mirrorgloss, Shaina Shepard, Molly Sides, Eva Walker, Tiffany Wilson
Tickets just went on sale and we’re guessing it could quickly sell out…we all loved Tina and we love these performers for honoring her legacy.
And, of course, a big toast to the one and only Tina Turner…SALUD!
