ZZ Ward Tickets

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.
