She founded Blondie with Chris Stein in New York in 1974. The band broke up in 1982 and got back together in 1997. Blondie has sold 40 million records worldwide.

A new album, “Panic of Girls,” was released in May. Reviews of the concert note the band performed 16 songs, many of them new. Jim Ryan at Chicago Now called Harry “the very epitome of a timeless cool.”
