Violet Grohl in Washington DC

Violet Grohl might have the biggest “leg up” in the start of her solo career by being the daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, but she proved that she belonged on the biggest of stages during a recent Washington, DC stop on her Be Sweet To Me solo tour. Donned in black clothing, Violet Grohl looked every part of a rockstar, while her tight backing band blazed through a 14-song set that included nearly every song from her thrilling debut LP, Be Sweet To Me, a Ween cover and three new songs that have not officially been released. The concert was held at The Atlantis (a venue directly next door the legendary 9:30 Club), which coincidentally hosted its first official concert in May 30, 2023 with Foo Fighters headlining, will likely be known as “the house that Grohl built” after two legendary shows in just three short years featuring a Grohl.

For an album that is called Be Sweet To Me, this record has a lot of grit to it. Violet Grohl makes a significant mark on the rock scene with her debut album released today, and the daughter of arguably the biggest rockstar today in Foo Fighters frontman, Dave Grohl, Violet takes her bravest step into the spotlight so far here. The album was produced by Joe Kennedy, Brad Lauchert, Anthony Paul Lopez, and Justin Raisen, and it has a sound fully entrenched in 90’s Alt Rock. On it’s heaviest moments, Be Sweet To Me resembles bands like Hole and The Pixies, while on its more reflective moments Grohl channels artists like Fiona Apple and PJ Harvey. A solid mix of grunge, alternative rock, shoegaze, and dream pop, Violet Grohl’s star shines brightly on her debut LP.
