Led by the magnetic and ever-so charismatic vocalist/guitarist Lzzy Hale, Halestorm is one of the most successful female-fronted rock bands of this generation. Similar to our previous Offstage with DWP episode featuring Papa Roach, we’ve watched Halestorm grow from a small side-stage act to main stage performers. As our head of Talent, Gary Spivack, says best… we’re practically connected at the hip.
In this installment of Offstage with DWP, Gary Spivack reminisces with Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger on past DWP events, from their first ever DWP festival performance in 2009, to thirty-five thousand fans singing Lzzy ‘Happy Birthday’ at Aftershock in Sacramento, CA last year. All of the ‘Encore Round’ giggles, humble chats and three acoustic performances, make this episode of Offstage with DWP one any Halestorm fan simply cannot miss.
Quarantine got you in a slump and looking for some words of inspiration? We think we can all agree that the acoustic performance of “I Am The Fire” on Offstage with DWP, is the lyrical uplifting boost we all need right about now. Lzzy Hale explains she wrote this song as a reminder to “burn with passion” and as a metaphor to be unapologetically herself. In these strange and confusing times, we cannot back this more. Sing along, get it all out and know that YOU are the fire.
