When Marko Babineau decided to put together this tribute, he thought that The Pretenders were the perfect blend of strong familiarity without been over-played. You think you know their two or three songs until you hear the set; it is literally a one-after-the-other of “I know this one too”.
Contenders have up to 2 hours of heavy radio rotation Chrissie Hynde songs. Even the deep B-side cuts are recognizable. That is why Contenders wins over every single audience they play for.
And, because Hynde is such a strong female icon, women of all ages are inspired, making every Contenders performance a spiritually uplifting experience.
