Heather Anne Lomax and her band brought rock ‘n’ roll firepower and a bold, soulful singer-songwriter sensibility to The Space. It marked the Vegas debut for this powerhouse singer, songwriter, and rhythm acoustic guitarist.

The show (which followed her headlining gig at the Troubadour in Los Angeles two nights earlier) served as the album release gig for her fourth disc Who Do You Think You Are (Blackbird Record Label)—a merger of rock, soul, and blues inspired by classic sounds—and celebrated Lomax’ move from LA to Vegas a year ago.

Dressed in a sparkling boho-glam outfit from the hipster Arts District store Star Las Vegas, Lomax owned the crowd from the outset with her deep, rich vocals and magnetic personality. She performed all the songs from the album, which Blues Matters UK has described as “refreshingly alive” and “proves classic influences can still sound vital when delivered with genuine conviction.” The most impactful songs tonight were “Come Along” and “Step Aside,” the video for which was partly filmed at night on the streets of the Arts District. It’s Heather’s love letter to her new home.
