Sevendust with Tremonti, Cane Hill, Lullwater, and Kirra at the NorVa in Norfolk, Virginia February 9th, 2019

I had the pleasure to sit with the members of Lullwater before the show and ask them a few questions.

Violent Femmes at the NorVa July 24, 2018

It all started with what sounded like a few of the audience members stomping their feet at the back of the house.

Then, one by one, the members of the band, each one holding a … Continue reading Violent Femmes at the NorVa July 24, 2018
