Vixen is an all-female rock band who had numerous hits on their first two albums in the late 80's/early 90's. Their hits included Edge of a Broken Heart, Cryin', How Much Love and Love is a Killer. The band split at the height of their success, following their second release, Rev It Up due to creative differences with regards to songwriting and the band's musical direction. There was a third studio album in '98 entitle Tangerine although this was released by only Janet Gardner and Roxy Petrucci with the help of some unknown players and against the wishes of Vixen founder and copyright owner Jan Kuehnemund. The result was a rather protracted legal battle.
After some ill-fated reunions for various tours and projects, Vixen returned with a stable line-up and started touring again. They released a new album in fall of 2006 called Live and Learn. The current members are Jan Keuhnemund on guitar, Lynn Louise Lowrey on bass, Kat Kraft on drums, and Jenna Sanz-Agero on vocals. The album was produced by Dennis MacKay who produced the bands debut in the late 80's.
In May 2024, Vixen‘s lead vocalist Lorraine Lewis had announced that she was no longer with the band after more than five years fronting the group. In June 2024, it was confirmed that Canadian rocker Rosa Laricchiuta (Headpins, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) made her live debut with the band at the Hair Metal Meltdown. The band is rounded off by drummer Roxy Petrucci, guitarist Britt Lightning and bassist Julia Sage.
