About

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."

  • ZZ Ward & Company as Promised

    by mplscouple on 10/15/13Skyway Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    ZZ Ward is a very talented performer. The set was exactly what you'd expect as a fan, she played almost all of her songs (not everything from Eleven Roses), interacted with the crowd, gave background on her music and song-writing, and played for as long as her songs would carry her. I would absolutely see her again. The only criticism, if you can call it that, is that many of the songs sounded almost exactly as on her album. Normally, this is a positive for an artist. However, so many of her songs have accompaniments from other artists, that the "dubbed in" background noise or voiceovers sometimes were distracting. We wouldn't have minded to see ZZ Ward strip down some of her songs, do some acoustic, or show us some different vocal variations from the album. Even some minor twists would have been exciting. Skyway Theater leaves a ton to be desired. The line to enter wrapped around the block and they split it in two by the doors and allowed new arrivals to simply join the line there. The ushers inconsistently enforced the rules (sitting in the aisle, etc.) and came around during performances and could care less during breaks, forcing people to move around during the show. The worst was, halfway through Alpha Rev, they came to the upper level (where people could sit if they chose) and FORCED the audience to stand-up, during Alpha's biggest song. Not only did we miss all of "Sing Loud," but they forced this standing not by announcement but rather by going to people individually. I still am unclear why this was done. Skyway needs to announce its rules from the stage, enforce them throughout, and be consistent. A venue should not distract from its talent and the show.

  • ZZ Ward is AMAZING

    by STPkp on 10/15/13Skyway Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    With James Bay and Alpha Rev opening up the show, we were well prepared and pumped by the time ZZ took the stage. She worked the crowd, played up the intimacy of the venue, and rocked our socks off. Fantastic performer.

  • ZZ Ward was phenomal

    by Jiax5 on 10/15/13Skyway Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    ZZ Ward at the Skyway Theater in Minneapolis was fantastic! The entire show, from top to bottom, was awesome. I was really impressed by opening act, James Bay. I had never heard of him, but was very impressed - great singer/songwriter but with a bit of an edge. He was very engaging, meeting people and signing CD's after the show. Alpha Rev was very solid, and brought a lot energy. ZZ Ward was amazing - so engaging and enthusiastic. She really commands the stage and connects with the audience. I love hearing the blues with a modern twist, and from such a strong female - awesome. Her band was also terrific.

    She was fantastic! Sound and crowd were great! She was speaking to her fans a lot which I liked.

  • ZZ Ward is f-ing amazing!

    This was a great concert! I love catching up and coming artists before they hit it big! ZZ did all of her hits plus a cover. It was a fabulous show!

  • ZZ Ward and The Wild Feathers awesome!!!

    by LaBaJo on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Seriously just an awesome show. Zz Ward sounded great live. Sometimes you hear a person/group live and it just doesn't sound the same as the album, but she nailed it. She definitely put on a fun entertaining show. The opening act, The Wild Feathers, really really really good band. I think they have a very bright future. I had never heard of them before the show, and I haven't been able to stop listening to their album since. If you've never heard of either ZZ Ward or The Wild Feathers I would highly recommend looking them up. The Ones To Watch tour is spot on, I look for both to hit it big.

  • ZZ Ward doesn't disappoint

    by Pappy20 on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    Bought the early entry ticket and found ourselves in the front row. No better place to be. ZZ Ward was awesome. She entertained..told stories about the origin of each song. I was worried that her powerful voice, trademark from her album, would be lost live but in fact her voice was even better live. I'd go to her show again and again.

  • Great Live Performance

    by Stever34 on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    One of the best voices you will ever hear live. Powerful voice. She does not need a band to back her up and the vocals are showcased. Lots of interaction with the crowd. Worth every dime.

  • by Anonymous on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 3 out of 5

    The opening act was fantastic, and ZZ Ward was amazing. The issue was how late she decided to go on. Most of the three hours I was there was standing around waiting for her to perform. I also thought the opening act had more stage presence than ZZ Ward and was way more entertaining; but you cannot deny that she has an incredible voice.

    She rocked it and I loved her show. The sound was a little off due to the venue, she was hard to hear over her band.

  • Great show

    by mrdubbers919 on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    I liked the show love ZZ Ward. I just wish her set was longer than the opening act The Wild Feathers, which by the way was a great band. The venue was okay it was a lot of sound for that small room, but great nonetheless. I would love to go to another one of her shows.

  • Knocked my socks off

    by ZZFan47 on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been listening to ZZ Ward for quite a while now and don't have many friends who knew who she was. When I saw she was going to be in Indy for $20 I decided to rope in friends to go even though it was on a Tuesday night. One of the openers was sick but the other band, The Wild Feathers, were awesome. Definitely came home and looked up more of their music. When ZZ finally came on everyone went nuts with excitement. She has great stage presence and an amazing voice. The rest of her band is amazingly talented also. If you're looking for some new music, check her out!

  • Wild Feathers Rocked!

    by IndyGreg on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 3 out of 5

    Wild Feathers played an incredible set. They even got to play longer than their scheduled time as the opener (James Bay) was under the weather. Ranged from very rock inspired tracks to some country flavored tunes. They even rolled out a solid Zeppelin cover. Trhoughout the set different members took over lead vocal duties providing a nice variety. I had only heard one of their songs before the show (which I liked), but they created a new fan that night. Five stars ZZ Ward was a bit of disappointment. Her songs are great and she connects with the audience well between songs, but it was clear from early on in her set that she was using a heavy vocal backing track. While not lip synching, I felt a bit jipped that we weren't getting her fully live and raw and real. Two stars.

  • My friend and I have seen ZZ Ward 3 times! Amazing

    by MooMooKachoo on 10/11/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

  • She rocked the house

    by BenHowardMusicFan on 10/9/13House of Blues Cleveland - ClevelandRating: 4 out of 5

    ZZ Ward was amazing like always. So fun and full of energy. You can tell she and her band love what they're doing.

  • ZZ Ward and her band were fantastic

    by PJLB on 10/8/13Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    This was one of the best shows I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of shows!). ZZ Ward and her band are amazing. I know it won't be long before everyone knows who they are! The mixture of blues, pop, rock, hip hop and even rap (which I don't usually like) is so original and ZZ's voice is so powerful. I got the meet & greet tickets and got to meet ZZ and one of the band members after the show. She was so nice and gracious and signed my poster and another one for my sister and I took the attached photo with her. (Good thing ZZ is cute 'cause this isn't my best photo)! Her band is also amazing-hard to believe these 4 people create such a huge sound! I wish the crowd was a little more respectful when ZZ was trying to talk and during the slow song but I guess that happens in a club setting.

  • Great show!

    by SouthShoreoldguy on 10/8/13Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    ZZ Ward is one of those artists where if you like her music, you think it will be even better live ... different -- I dislike shows where you might as well be listening to the radio -- and better. That was certainly the case at the Paradise. Loved her performance and her energy and came away loving her music that much more and anxious for her next album.

  • ZZ Ward was fantastic!

  • ZZ was awesome!

    ZZ was great! She was so cool and nice to my daughter!

  • ZZ did not meet expectations!

    by Charlie437 on 10/5/13Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 2 out of 5

    Concert was kinda a letdown. My suggestion would be for her to hire a travelling sound tech rather then rely on $10 per hour house soundmen. If it was ZZ's tech mixing sound then, they need to be fired!! I was disappointed with the show.
