Her band was full of energy which was a perfect combination with her sassy love songs. She followed with songs from her debut LP&nbsp;<em>Til the Casket Drops<\/em> including the albums title song &#8220;Til the Casket Drops&#8221; and &#8220;Charlie Ain&#8217;t Home&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She also performed her sensual song &#8220;Lil Darlin&#8221;.

She also took a moment to praise the city and it&#8217;s revival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After a powerful performance of &#8220;Blue Eyes Blind&#8221; Ward gave a two song encore. The encore featured &#8220;Help Me Mama&#8221; and a closing song of &#8220;365 Days&#8221;. ZZ Ward&#8217;s performance showcased her vocal talent, sounding almost identical to the record. Her band was full of energy, and never missed a beat.
