Evanescence and Halestorm, supported by Lilith Czar, finished off the last week of their fall tour, which had to be rescheduled due to Covid concerns. Neither wicked winter weather nor tragic tour bus fires could stop this show from happening.
Halestorm continues to elevate their stage show, showcasing the passion and talent that have brought them to the top of the rock world over the past decade. Lzzy Hale, Arejay Hale, Joe Hottinger and Josh Smith go above and beyond in delivering hit after hit. Not many bands today add solos and extended jams to their songs, but Halestorm the band has an old soul, and a reverence for classic rock grandeur.
Amy Lee and Evanescence took the stage determined to continue the spirit and spectacle laid down before them. Will Hunt, Tim McCord, Troy McLawhorn and Jen Majura are the perfect complement to Amy Lee’s shifts from quiet piano player to ethereal rock singer.
Gathering together these days as a rock community feels more precious and special than it ever has. This is just as true for the artists and their crews as it is for the fans. The highlights of the night were Amy Lee singing along on “Break In” with Lzzy Hale on piano, and Lzzy returning the favor while Amy played piano on Linkin Park’s “Heavy”.
