Bob & Lee Woodruff

April 29 2025

Chrysler Hall 215 Saint Pauls Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23510 Price: Price may vary

A Journey of Inspiration and Best-Selling Co-Authors, In An Instant: A Family’s Journey of Love and Healing

Award-winning journalist Bob Woodruff has covered the most influential stories and breaking news around the globe for more than 30 years. He has reported from the White House to war zones and conflicts, from some of the planet’s most remote areas to some of the most prominent events. Just a few months after being named Co-anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight, in 2006, Woodruff was reporting on the State of the Union from Taji, Iraq when his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb, resulting in a critical injury and a head trauma that put him in a 36-day coma.

After his miraculous recovery, the Woodruff family founded the Bob Woodruff Foundation (bobwoodrufffoundation.org) which assists wounded servicemen and their families with the transition back to the home front as they successfully reintegrate into their communities. To date, the Bob Woodruff Foundation has given away about $160 million to assist service members and their families.

Lee Woodruff

As co-author of the New York Times best-selling In an Instant, Lee Woodruff garnered critical acclaim for the compelling and humorous chronicle of her family’s journey to recovery following her husband Bob’s roadside bomb injury in Iraq. Appearing publicly and on national television since the February 2007 publication of their book, the couple has helped put a face on the serious issue of traumatic brain injury among returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, as well as the millions of Americans who live with this often invisible, but life-changing affliction.

They have founded the Bob Woodruff Foundation to assist post-9/11 injured service members, veterans, and their families heal from the physical and silent wounds of war. To date, the non-profit foundation has invested more than $20 million, funding and shaping innovative programs across the country that are helping veterans successfully integrate back into their communities. Her best-selling book Perfectly Imperfect – A Life in Progress, was followed by her first novel Those We Love Most, which became a New York Times best seller.

Joe Samba with Dale & the Z Dubs at The Annex

February 13 2025

The Annex 2500 Church Street, Unit A Norfolk, VA 23517 Price: $15 to $75 / Day Of: $20

Guitar slung low, microphone turned up, and emotion overflowing, Joe Samba taps into rock ‘n’ roll spirit and reggae soul all at once. The Massachusetts-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist sonically teeters on an axis of island-inflected grooves and gritty guitar-craft balanced by his dynamic vocals. He finds the sweet spot between smoked-out Caribbean bliss and sweat-soaked punkified energy. It’s why he’s quietly emerged as a phenomenon, toppling charts at #1
