An impromptu live performance from 20-year-old Grammy-winning singer Billie Eilish drew huge crowds at Amoeba Hollywood that too at a few hours notice, reports Variety.

This weekend, her second studio record, 'Happier Than Ever', celebrates its one-year anniversary, and on Friday afternoon (Pacific Standard Time), she took to her iconic hometown record store to perform an acoustic set of selections from the record.

According to Variety, fans crowded every nook and cranny of Amoeba's new Hollywood location to see the singer play a four-song set. Finneas, the singer's brother, producing partner and tourmate, joined her onstage with an acoustic guitar and supporting vocals.

Variety adds that after opening with 'Billie Bossa Nova' and performing 'TV' off her recent 'Guitar Songs' EP, Eilish left it up to the crowd to decide the next song, which resulted in an impassioned shouting match that settled on 'Getting Older'.

Finally, the dynamic energy of the record's title track translated incredibly well into acoustic form, spurring an inspired crowd sing along that Eilish effortlessly led as the set's closing number.
