Halestorm, Lita Ford and Dorothy ROCK the Ace of Spades in Sacramento!

October 17, 2016

Ace of Spades in Sacramento definitely delivered a night of incredible rock n roll this past Saturday night.  The night kicked off with the soul grabbing rock set of Dorothy. This was my first time catching Dorothy live and will surely not be last. I was completely mesmerized by the powerful magnetic vocals of Dorothy, along with the shredding fuzzy guitar by DJ Black, the thunderous bass of Gregg Cash, and hard hitting drums by Dylan Howard. Together, they brought out an energy that got the crowd moving and ready to rock the night away. Lita Ford hit the stage and she obviously has been kept in a time capsule, she had the energy, the fervor, the beauty, the vocals of  her 20 year old self. Time has stood still for her as she gave the crowd a set that had them cheering and screaming from start to finish. Her set included Runaway songs, her solo hits, and new songs, including a great song she co-wrote with the legend Lemmy Kilmister. It was awesome to [Read More]
