Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) discusses her bond with Joe Hottinger and the joy of creating together

Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger of Halestorm performed at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday, March 5, as per Blabbermouth. Lzzy and Joe talked about the creation of Halestorm’s most recent album, “Everest,” what it was like to be a part of Ozzy Osbourne‘s “Back To The Beginning” show, and more about their career trajectory during a conversation facilitated by Katherine Turman. A thrilling acoustic concert was also performed by the band. Lzzy informed the crowd of this before beginning “The Silence,” the last song on Halestorm’s 2018 album “Vicious.”

Just to throw another wrench into the works, for those of you who have just met us, I know there’s a lot of different dynamics and things, but Joe and I are together, and we have been for 22 years. Like Joe was saying earlier in the night, when we met, we had never met anyone like each other. You actually wanna sit till four in the morning and manifest our dreams and make them into reality. And so we were hanging out all the time and I’m, like, ‘Man, it sucks that he’s in the band.’ That’s a big no-no. Like Joe said, you don’t wanna [end up like] Fleetwood Mac. What you wanna do is Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. But you can’t predict those things. So we had these very adult conversations, like, ‘Well, if we…’ ‘Cause we were very immaturely flirting. We were flirting, but pretending we’re not… But no, we made the decision, we’re, like, ‘If we don’t try this, then we could be losing out on something too.’ Because I will tell you over the last 22 years, there is nothing like having all of these firsts and chasing your dream, doing the thing that you love with the person you love.
