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

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

by Glenn Woodell This was a musician’s show as there were plenty of local artists in the crowd.

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

Lilith Czar at the Norva in Norfolk, Virginia April 24, 2022

By Glenn Woodell Opening for Three Days Grace was the vixen-lead band, Lilith Czar. Take In this Moment; replace the white with black; replace the drummer with a blond stick-slinging enchantress; and remove the dancers; and you have Lilith Czar. A mix of hard-hitting goth, metal, rock, pop, and some ballads mixed in, is what this evening was like. Black leather, black hair, and black … Continue reading Lilith Czar at the Norva in Norfolk, Virginia April 24, 2022

The vocal harmonies, the keyboard runs and guitar solos, and the drums all bring back the same memories for those singing along, playing air guitar, or thumping out the beat. Throughout their 49 year history, they have had a … Continue reading Styx with Anthony Rosano and the Conqueroos at Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia August 10, 2021
