Medicine Hat News Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are coming to Medicine Hat this summer. Jett has been loving rock ‘n’ roll since co-founding The Runaways in the mid-1970s, producing hits like “I Love Rock ‘N’Roll,” “Do You Wanna Touch Me?” and “Bad Reputation” along the way. In addition to The Runaways, Jett has been performing with The Blackhearts for nearly 40 years and has spent time as a solo artist. Joining Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in Medicine Hat will be The Guess Who. The Canadian legends once led by Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman are known for their huge hits “These Eyes,” “American Woman” and “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature.” The current lineup of the band consists of D#, Will E, Garry Peterson, Rudy Sarzo and Leonard Shaw. Tickets for the July 28, 8 p.m. show start at $69 all in and are available at http://www.mhstampede.com. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and The Guess Who replace Huey Lewis and the News, who had to pull out of the show as Lewis deals with the sudden loss of his hearing. 7
