Granny & The Boys Rent Relief Fund

Granny & The Boys (D.C.'s #1 house band) have been performing their otherworldly funk at Showtime every Sunday since our opening nearly seven years ago. Led by the exquisite 87 year old Alice "Granny" Donahue, the band has packed in delirious crowds, moved everyone's feet, and always guaranteed a great time. They never missed a single Sunday, whether it was the Super Bowl or Christmas Eve, and quickly became a beloved D.C. institution.

With the onset of COVID-19 and the shuttering of Showtime, as well as the loss of their other paying gigs, the band is in need of financial help. The band practices in the apartment of their drummer, Richard Lynch, who lives directly above Showtime and has for over 25 years. Richard's sole income for nearly the last decade has been playing music with Alice, and the loss of this income has been devastating, as his Social Security does not cover the cost of rent.

Showtime, and Alice & Richard, are asking for any support you can give during this difficult time so they can continue to pay their rent. Thanks, and we love you.
