The Darkness with Mark Daly and the Ravens at the NorVa, in Norfolk, Virginia, September 5th, 2025

by Glenn Woodell British rock is alive and well if The Darkness is any indication. Although the band broke up in 2003, they reformed four years later and have been going strong ever since. “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”, off of their debut album, Permission to Land, paved the way for their initial success and is still their biggest hit today. Their continued … Continue reading The Darkness with Mark Daly and the Ravens at the NorVa, in Norfolk, Virginia, September 5th, 2025

Samantha Fish at Elevation 27 in Virginia Beach, Virginia November 15, 2024

By Glenn Woodell I’ve covered a wide variety of shows but Samatha Fish’s show was definitely one of the best. I missed her the last two times she came through the area and made it a priority to catch her this time. From the moment she walked into the stage lights with her blazing red jump suit she commanded the attention of the entire venue. … Continue reading Samantha Fish at Elevation 27 in Virginia Beach, Virginia November 15, 2024

Mammoth WVH with Intervals at the NorVa in Norfolk, Virginia May 8, 2024

Mix Master Mike opened the show, with plenty of audio and visual magic.

Tears for Fears with Cold War Kids at Virginia Beach Amphitheater, Virginia Beach, Virginia, July 7, 2023

By Glenn Woodell As a photographer, I’ve taught myself to always bring all my gear and be prepared for everything. I broke that mantra for this show and paid the price. I usually only shoot shows where I can shoot from the photo pit and tend to avoid those where the photographers are given little chance of creativity by being shoved back to the sound … Continue reading Tears for Fears with Cold War Kids at Virginia Beach Amphitheater, Virginia Beach, Virginia, July 7, 2023

Matt Maeson at the Norva in Norfolk, Virginia, May 25, 2023

Matt Maeson’s ties to the Hampton Roads area were evident as the nearly sold out crowd showed their enthusiasm from the very beginning, even with the opening act. Brennan Smiley, a touring artist from Phoenix, might as we have been from right here in Norfolk too, as the crowd gave him a warm reception throughout his entire set. One would almost think he was the … Continue reading Matt Maeson at the Norva in Norfolk, Virginia, May 25, 2023
