About The Bally's Lounge
GoLocal launched The Bally's Lounge in 2023, expanding with a new music studio in its downtown Providence location on the first floor of the Turks Head Building — The Bally’s Lounge.
As GoLocal reported, this new location and studio will allow local emerging artists the opportunity to be featured on GoLocalProv.com and via a range of social media sites LIVE in concert.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for top-tier local musicians to be seen and have the chance to discuss their work. Before the pandemic, we featured more than 50 live concerts and were able to showcase the 'best of the best' in Rhode Island,” said GoLocal 24 Co-Founder and CEO Josh Fenton.
Bally's, which recently expanded its footprint in Rhode Island with a 40,000-square-foot addition in Lincoln, said it is excited about the opportunity to further promote the state's vibrant local music scene.
“Rhode Island has a wealth of diverse, local music talent and we are thrilled to partner with GoLocal to provide a platform for up-and-coming artists,” said Craig Eaton, SVP and Head of Bally's Rhode Island Operations.
