ENTERTAINMENT
The Lollies
Samantha West and Natalie Sevick are sisters and bandmates who have been making music together since they were old enough to start singing along to their dad’s Beatles records. The pair can most often be seen performing a blend of pop, rock and blues throughout Michigan as part of their family band, Lolly and the Pops. They are excited to perform as a special acoustic sister duo for the Women’s Center of Southeast Michigan’s Spring Soirée, celebrating music, sisterhood, and the amazing women in our community.
“We are so excited to be a part of this event — something that is powered by women and for women. Music is such an important part of who we are, and it gives us so much joy to perform together. During the pandemic, those opportunities basically vanished. We are grateful to be able to make music together again and share it as part of such an important cause.”
