ZZ WARD IN CONCERT:
Blues-rock queen ZZ Ward is a soulful and sassy newcomer who's quickly making herself known with her robust vocals, intricate guitar playing, and signature fedora. Whether she's nailing a harmonica solo on "Grinnin' In Your Face" or serenading fans on the tear-jerking love ballad "Last Love Song", ZZ Ward puts on a thrilling live performance every time. Hot off the heels of a packed 2014 Coachella set, ZZ Ward will have fans dancing all night long on her thrilling, high-energy tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born Zsuzsanna Eva Ward, ZZ Ward got her start performing alongside her musician father at the age of 12. Several years later, she decided to pursue a full-time music career and moved to Los Angeles to begin work on her debut album. After collaborating with Ryan Tedder and Fitz from Fitz and the Tantrums, Ward broke out with her EP Criminal in 2012 and generated major buzz with her infectious, bluesy style. The demo attracted attention from big names like Kendrick Lamar and Freddie Gibbs, who were so enamored by her songs that they joined forces with the new singer and were featured on tracks from her full-length LP Til the Casket Drops. Since then, the budding songstress has toured with guitar legend Eric Clapton, made appearances on a number of popular talk shows, and had her music featured in major films and television series -- all in a few short years. Back on the road, Ward will bring the house down as she treats audiences to a string of fan-favorites on her highly anticipated shows.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"ZZ is an amazing artist. She plays with a ton of energy. We have seen her in Vegas and this time she was even better. Can't wait to see her again."
"ZZ was wonderful and so was her band. I was surprised to see her play guitar, piano and rock out on the harp! The musicianship was top notch and she was really personal with the audience and often had us singing along. Did a really cool cover of Drake's 'Hold On, We’re Going Home' that was really creative. Awesome show!"
"She was really good and her band was really tight. I would recommend seeing her to anyone with ears who likes great music."
We loved the show! ZZ is a remarkable Blues artist with a depth and range that belies her youth. We expect this talented artist to make a name for herself. We look forward to her Sophomore album. We're looking forward to the Norfolk, VA show!
ZZ WARD ROCKED THE 8X10! She is amazing live!!! AMAZING.
Incredible performance - ZZ and her musicians were having as much fun as the crowd!
She was so awesome, really good energy, songs were spot on and the venue was cozy, close and amazing
The whole night was great. ZZ Ward has great vocals and the staff at the 8x10 was great.
ZZ Ward exceeded my expectations! This was the first time that I have seen her live, and she gave a very energetic performance. Her band was also fabulous - very talented musicians. She sang all of the songs I wanted to here from her album, so I was VERY happy! And kudos to 2nd opening act Martin Harley - he's an amazing blues player and singer!
The entire concert from start to finish was total dance worthy bliss! ZZ Ward is absolutely amazing and has songs you will never forget. She's even better live and loves what she's doing! Delta Rae blew me away! I have to admit I was a little skeptical. Their albums don't do them ANY justice. They are fantastic live!! I could have listened to many more songs. The opening act, Martin Harley Band was equally as good. Close your eyes and just listen.
This was one of the best concerts I have ever been to! All of the singers' voices are amazing, and it was a great value to see two extremely talented bands for about $10 total!! Definitely recommend.
First off, this concert experience was excellent from beginning to end. ZZ Ward was great. She is a singer, songwriter who has a beautiful voice. She also plays a mean electric guitar. An unannounced treat was English blues singer Martin Harley. He played to a seemingly uncaring crowd. By the end of his set, he had everyone's attention, and many new fans. Delta Rae was next. They are a band that plays american folk style rock. They took the stage and surprised everyone that had never heard of them. The two female lead singers have the most amazing voices and put their heart and soul into every note. They also have 2 male singers who also played guitar and keyboards and were equally talented singers. The other two members who did not sing lead,, rocked on drums and bass, including an upright bass violin. They kept the audience mesmerized as they played music from their debut album Carry the Fire. They also did a rendition of The Chain by Fleetwood Mac that rivaled the excellent original. Delta Rae is a band to watch.
This was my first concert in years, and my first concert, ever, at the Norva. The opening band, Delta Dabney, was pretty cool, though the sound was a little off, so it was difficult to hear the lyrics to the songs. The second act, Seasick Mama, was horrible; I'm pretty sure the lead singer was drunk, high, or both, and she encouraged the audience to buy her a drink, to which they obliged. Either way, that act was not my cup of tea, and the only time my sisters and I clapped was when the band *left* the stage. Finally, ZZ Ward came onstage. I have never been so close to an artist I love, nor have I been able to interact with the band, until this show. It was amazing to be so close that I could make eye contact with ZZ and her band, to talk to them, and to be able to have "front row" access to enjoy the show. ZZ Ward's stage presence was outstanding, her singing was on point, and the band was fantastic. It's rare that an artist sounds as good (if not better) in person as they do on the album, where editing often changes the sound completely.
Intimate venue with great vantage points and amazing performers. Opening acts were great and ZZ didn't disappoint either. Live sounds as good or better than the album! If you haven't joined the masses following her on her journey to the top, you definitely should!!
Zach and ZZ killed it. I hope they come back soon!
Opening act Zach Heckendorf is a talented singer/songwriter that reminded me of artists such as Jason Mraz, John Mayer or Dave Matthews at times. The match with ZZ was perfect as each highlighted thei talents without stepping on the other. ZZ was simply amaZZing! She is a talented musician and songwriter with great stage presence, and a voice that commands attention. In this day of " American Idols", it is rare to find such a complete package. I missed her earlier show in columbus, but am glad I made this one because I doubt that she will be available in such an intimate surrounding for long.
