This Friday we welcome Lioness: An Amy Winehouse Experience - At Billy's Lounge for the first time!
This powerful ensemble delivers a nearly 3 hour production of the majority of the early-2000s Jazz vocalist’s discography- From her early ‘Frank’ days, inspired by artists like Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan, to her hit album ‘Back to Black,’ but not forgetting the icon’s ‘Hidden Treasures.’
The band features some of West Michigan’s finest musicians: Hals Smedstad and Gwinan Weber on vocals, Jeremiah Wenger on guitar, Jarrett Holtslag on keys, Chris Carr on bass, and Karl Schantz on drums.
Lioness will keep your feet moving and mind wondering if you had somehow been transported back in time, to Amy’s famous 2008 Glastonbury performance. They emulate Amy’s ‘lioness’ persona inside and out, and do not forget the beehive look or chunky eyeliner at home! Even better, the set is full of improvised sections from the very talented band, really honoring that element of Jazz that Amy loved so much.
The music also has a mission, ‘Lioness’ strives to raise awareness for the suffering of addiction and is raising funds for the Grand Rapids Red Project, which provides their local community with harm reduction resources and connects them with recovery coaching and other related healthcare services. 15% of all proceeds are donated directly to this amazing 501c3 organization.
Music starts at 9:30PM on August 16, 2024

We will be doing it BIG for the 15 year with EVERYONE who has had a hand in keeping this amazing night rocking!

WE HAVE QUITE THE HISTORY
1437 Wealthy S.E. has always been a hub in the Eastown community. From its early beginnings as Warner Groceries, to the variety of watering holes that it has housed throughout the years, this building has continually provided service and entertainment to Grand Rapid’s east side and beyond.
Standing at the end of this lineage is Billy’s Lounge, a 250 capacity live music venue situated in burgeoning Eastown Grand Rapids. In keeping the long standing tradition of service and entertainment, Billy’s Lounge offers live music, along with a full bar and dirt cheap drink specials on a nightly basis. Although deeply rooted in the Blues, acts from all genres, ranging in size from local to international, can be heard blazing from Billy’s premier sound system on any given night.
Should the music move you to action, find your way to the user-friendly dance floor (located center stage of course), which is filled every Sunday night for our trademark 80s night. For those looking to unwind, Billy’s offers pool tables, candle lit table service, and a fully stocked bar including an extensive list of micro brews from around the country.
It isn't hard to see why Billy's Lounge is Grand Rapid's home of the blues and so much more.
