Elvis Costello is a force to be reckoned with. The 65-year-old proved that when he and his band, the Imposters, stopped in for a show on Friday night at The NorVa.
The pop-rock powerhouse has been writing music and performing for more than 40 years. He’s on his second tour of 2019, impressive for any musician but slightly more so for Costello, who beat a cancer scare last year.
Named “Just Trust,” the tour made a simple promise: Come out to the show and be treated with a collection of fan favorites.
Flanked by his bandmates and two backup singers, Costello was primed and personable. Part musician, part storyteller, Costello took the audience behind-the-lyrics before ripping into “Accidents Will Happen” from his 1979 album, “Armed Forces.”
