The Inspirations and Collaborations of Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders

Pretending Chrissie returns to The Bornemann with an electrifying new concert, The Inspirations and Collaborations of Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders. This one-of-a-kind performance shines a spotlight not only on the Pretenders’ legendary catalog, but also on the incredible guest artists who join the band for this special evening.

Sharing the stage will be powerhouse performers from some of Southern California’s most celebrated acts:

Tony Rivas (Custard Pie)
Debbra Sweet (Cher’d)
Al Reed (Good Company)
Deanna Farrell (Violinist)
Mark Wood (Custard Pie Guitarist)
Ivonne Vilches (Vocals)

Together, they’ll channel the songs and stories that influenced and inspired Chrissie Hynde, bringing fresh interpretations to music from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Jimi Hendrix, Burt Bacharach, Juice Newton, The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Sam Cooke, and more. And of course, Pretending Chrissie will deliver the Pretenders’ greatest hits you know and love.

This is more than a tribute—it’s a star-studded celebration of influence, collaboration, and timeless artistry, with every guest artist adding their own spark to Chrissie Hynde’s musical journey.
