LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 5, 2016) — Women will rock the University of Kentucky Singletary Center for the Arts this week as Grammy Award-winning rock band Halestorm, Lita Ford and Dorothy storm the stage beginning 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 6.

Siblings Elizabeth and Arejay Hale, the core members of Halestorm, began the group in late 1997 with Arejay on drums and Elizabeth on vocals and keyboard. Wanting to expand their sound, the duo invited their father, Roger, to play bass for the band. Halestorm caught the attention of producer David Ivory, as well as Atlantic Records, both of whom were involved in the band's major-label debut, "One and Done," a five-song EP recorded live at a show in Philadelphia in 2006.

The band made their full-length studio debut in 2009 with the eponymous "Halestorm," all the while maintaining a rigorous touring schedule that saw them playing upwards of 250 shows a year. Their sophomore album, "The Strange Case Of..." followed in 2012 and the single "Love Bites (So Do I)" earned the group a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. The band's eclectic third studio long-player, the Jay Joyce-produced “Into the Wild Life,” was released in April 2015, and was preceded by the single "Apocalyptic." Today the band includes the Hale siblings, Joe Hottinger and Josh Smith.

Lita Ford and Dorothy are also featured on the concert line-up at this Singletary Center performance.
