You know why? Because they do.
I saw a few awesome women that rock last night at a concert in Huntington, WV.
I went to see Halestorm, Lita Ford, and a newer band called Dorothy.
All are fronted by women and are all amazing.
The band Dorothy started the show with some in your face bluesy hard rock.
Great musicianship and their singer Dorothy Martin has an amazing voice.
They only have one EP out so far, but I recommend checking them out.
Next up was the legendary Lita Ford.
As much as I really like Halestorm, seeing Lita was my main reason for going to this concert.
As a former member of the all girl group The Runaways and later becoming a successful solo artist, Lita Ford is one of the best at what she does.
She sings, writes, and plays guitar.
All very well, too.
She played many great songs of her catalog, including Kiss Me Deadly, Close My Eyes Forever, Can’t Catch Me (She dedicated this song to co-writer Lemmy Kilmister, the leader of the band Motorhead, who passed away this year), and Back To The Cave, just to name a few.
I was glad I finally got to see her.
I have now seen two members of The Runaways (I saw Joan Jett last year and will again this summer!!)
Her band is very good, too.
Especially her drummer, Bobby Rock.
For you KISS fans like me, you may know Bobby Rock as the drummer of ex KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent’s band The Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
This band also spawned the band Slaughter.
Anyway, Lita is still rocking like no other and I hope she never stops.
She also just put out a great new book called Living Like A Runaway, and has a new album coming out very soon called Time Capsule.
Check them out.
Now to the headliner Halestorm.
I had actually seen Halestorm once before in Huntington in 2013 open for Godsmack and Staind.
Halestorm just get better and better.
They played many songs from their newest album, Into The Wild Life, as well as other many great songs of theirs.
They even played a deep Judas Priest song called Genocide, which is on one of their EPs.
The band’s lead singer, Lzzy Hale, is in a league of her own.
She is a phenomenal singer, guitarist, and writer.
I can honestly say she can sing anything, and it would be amazing.
If you have not heard Halestorm or seen them, I cannot recommend them enough.
In fact, I recommend checking out all of these artists.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this.
More reviews to come this year.
