The Underground
Wonder Bar is the creation of the soulful and enigmatic Lonie Walker - pianist, singer/songwriter, arranger and bandleader. Lonie and her Big Bad Ass Company Band have thrilled audiences from around the world for over 11 years. Reminiscent of an era gone by, when the streets were filled with the sound of music and audiences looking for "jazz and cocktails," the intimate UWB is a small garden-level club. The bar takes up most of the front of the room and at the back is the stage, often filled to capacity with singers, percussionists, horn players, bassists, guitarists and all manner of musicians creating the music the Wonder Bar is famous for. An eclectic roster includes jazz vocalist Kimberly Gordon, contemporary electric violinist/singer Heather Horton, rhythm and blues and reggae bands and Robin Kay singing her wild originals with a funky beat. Out-of-towners come here and feel they've met Chicago. The UWB's bar selection should satisfy even the most discriminating taste, with its abundance of domestic and imported beers, fine liquors, wines and champagnes.
