QUESTION: What do R&B group DeBarge, gospel singer Marvin Sapp, early rock & roll icon Del Shannon, and rock singer Kevin Max (dcTalk) share in common?
ANSWER: They all have ties to Grand Rapids, Michigan.

As one local writer put it, "If Detroit is the 'home of rock and roll,' Grand Rapids is its rowdy little sister." A diverse roster of local and touring acts can regularly be found playing in venues around town, from larger venues like the Van Andel Arena, to mid-size rooms like The Orbit Room, and intimate venues like Billy's Lounge.
