LIVE AT THE LODGE is brought to you exclusively by Stillwaters Media.  Both artists and audience enjoy a unique, relaxed and memorable evening together in one of the most beautiful bayside venues in Traverse City, Michigan. 

Music has always been a part of Lee Greenwood’s life. He started playing the piano when he was seven and the saxophone at 12.  In junior high, he started his first group called the Moonbeams. His sister Patricia was the piano player in the band. By the time, he finished High School he played most all the instruments in the orchestra and was the Drum Major for the marching band.

Throughout his expansive career, international country music icon Lee Greenwood has earned multiple CMA and ACM Awards, a Grammy Award for Top Male Vocal Performance on “I.O.U.” in 1985, and a multitude of other prestigious awards nominations.  His discography includes seven studio albums, seven compilation albums, seven #1hits, and thirty-eight singles including songs like, “It Turns Me Inside Out,” “Ring On Her Finger Time on Her Hands,” “She’s Lyin’,” “I Don’t Mind the Thorns if You’re the Rose,” “Dixie Road,” “Somebody’s Gonna Love You,” ”Going, Going Gone,” “You Got a Good Love Comin’,” among others. 

His stand-out hit, “God Bless the U.S.A,” has been in the top 5 on the country singles charts 3 times, giving it the distinction of being the only song in any genre of music to achieve that feat. It reached the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart shortly after 9/11.  Known for his stand-out patriotism and support of the US military, Greenwood has been honored with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s National Patriot’s Award and entertained troupes on more than 30 USO Tours.    www.leegreenwood.com

Lee Greenwood will be joined by Traverse City's own singer/songwriter, Jim Hawley.  When audiences hear Jim Hawley sing, it's obvious that he’s been doing this for awhile. When he closes his eyes and begins to sing, he reaches down somewhere deep in his heart, he pulls you in – the feeling is almost physical and you know that he has lived through the joy and the pain of love’s prism. His voice conveys emotion that stirs the soul. Jim was born in California; his music took root in coffee houses. Jim Hawley is also a veteran; he served a 4 year tour of duty in the US Navy. Jim is a singer/songwriter in the Grand Traverse Region; his is one of Traverse City’s true musical treasures.  www.conundrumbooksandmusic.com
