Lita Ford is one of the performers at the festival. The singer and guitarist was a part of the all girl band “The Runaways” in the 70s, best known for songs “Cherry Bomb”, “Queen of Noise” and “Hollywood”.
Ford has been a solo artist since the 80s releasing several albums and hit singles “Kiss Me Deadly”, “Close My Eyes Forever” a duet with Ozzy Osbourne. Ford was out of the business until returning to the scene in 2009 album “Wicked Wonderland.
Ford is touring across the world in concerts, promoting her new album and autobiography “Living Like A Runaway”.
I spoke with her recently and got her thoughts on The Hair Nation Festival, her book, touring, the closing of Irvine Meadows and more.
