Lzzy Hale From HALESTORM.
Jason AnthonyI can not wait to see video of Lzzy Hale fronting Skid Row! In case you missed the news from earlier today, the Halestorm frontwoman will temporarily front the classic band after singer Erik Grönwall decided to step away from the band to take better care of his health.
It goes without saying that I'm sad to see Erik leave, but completely understand why he is. I've had the chance to meet and hang with him on several occasions. The guy is so full of energy and had this vibe about him where everything was new and he was soaking it all in. I got the feeling from the rest of the band that they really enjoyed having him in the band and spending time with him. Oh, by the way, he KILLED it on stage the few times I saw the show. I wish him nothing but the best moving forward, as he's a great guy and a super talent.
Speaking of great talents, Lzzy Hale is sooo good on stage. Whether she's ripping on her guitar, or singing, she really is something to see. I'm so jealous of the fans that will get to see her live in person. Here's what she had to say on her socials about joining the band for some shows.
“I'm stepping in for a few dates as the lead singer of Skid Row! What an honor to call them my friends and a privilege to be sharing the stage with them! Erik, I wish you all the magic on your next adventure. Now...which leather pants to wear?!!”
Here are the dates and locations of the shows she'll be playing with the band.
May 17 - Walker's Bluff Casino Resort - Carterville, IL
May 18 - Riverside Casino & Golf Resort - Riverside, IA
May 31 - Nugget Casino Resort - Sparks, NV
June 01 - Hard Rock Live Sacramento - Wheatland, CA
So can she pull it off? Check out the videos below and judge for yourself. I can't wait to hear her sing some songs off the first album.
