LION BABE played a sold-out show at The Great Hall last night and the energy in the room was unreal from the start. Everyone just wanted to dance. is the New York duo of singer Jillian Hervey and producer/DJ Lucas Goodman (Astro Raw), blending soul, R&B and electronic music.

Jillian Hervey’s vocals mixed with the production sounded incredible, and you could hear the love for house music and Donna Summer throughout the set. You could still feel the bass in your chest walking out of the venue, just how we like it! 🪩
