ZZ Ward + James Bay + The Wild Feathers

Harmonica-toting, hip-hop–loving L.A. singer-songwriter ZZ Ward—the initials stand for Zsuzsanna—worked with Ryan Tedder, Pete Rock and Freddie Gibbs on her 2012 debut, Til the Casket Drops. On Sept 30, catch her brand of foot-stomping, post-Adele soul at Irving Plaza as part of the Down and Dirty Shine tour.
