Central Pennsylvania is home to a few notable rock groups, such as Poison from Mechanicsburg or Live from York. <\/p>\n
But Halestorm, founded in Red Lion by siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale, may just be the loudest rocking of any of them.<\/p>\n
The band performed at the Giant Center on Aug. 16, opening once again for Danish rock group Volbeat. The groups have previously performed together at the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course<\/a>.<\/p>\n And of course, being close to home, Lzzy Hale was a bit nostalgic.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did about 1,500 shows here, all before we were signed, before anybody noticed,\u201d Hale said, talking about the early days of their career playing in bars and at \u201cFriendly\u2019s restaurants for free ice cream.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cBut you guys noticed,\u201d she said, thanking their consistent and loyal fans. \u201cWe\u2019re so happy to be back here and see all of your smiling faces. Because Pennsylvania, she sticks with you, doesn\u2019t she? I still haven\u2019t lost my accent.\u201d<\/p>\n Hale, decked out in tall platform heeled boots beneath a hooded cape, put her powerful voice on display during the band\u2019s set.<\/p>\n With a voice that can travel from a low growl to a literal scream, Hale led the performance of songs like \u201cI Get Off\u201d and \u201cRain Your Blood On Me\u201d with the intensity of a banshee.<\/p>\n And as the beating heart of the band, Arejay Hale\u2019s drumming was impeccable. A brief solo captured just a few moments of his skill, as well as some humor. He followed up the first solo with a second, this time using drumsticks the size of yardsticks.<\/p>\n The crowd was celebrating along with their local rock group, cheering when Lzzy made a reference to local radio station 105.7 FM or when she announced \u201cwe\u2019re all freaks tonight!\u201d before singing \u201cFreak Like Me.\u201d<\/p>\n Halestorm has certainly come full circle. In her youth, Lzzy Hale once dumped a date after seeing a show at Hersheypark Stadium<\/a>. <\/p>\n Since then, she and Halestorm have returned home to perform at the York Fair<\/a> and performed a tribute with metal legend Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> not long before his death.<\/p>\n Now, they\u2019re among the acts performing in Hershey, with a crowd singing along to their hits just as passionately as they sing along to Black Sabbath\u2019s \u201cWar Pigs\u201d during the pre-show music.<\/p>\n The band\u2019s sixth album, \u201cEverest\u201d released earlier this month, and the group treated the audience to a few new songs, including the title track and \u201cDarkness Always Wins.\u201d<\/p>\n With a brand new album and a successful concert back in their old stomping grounds, it seems like Halestorm is enjoying a well-earned victory lap. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
