"Music Makes Us All Feel Better!"
As a young student of piano, flute and guitar, Lois Ann participated in musical opportunity at every turn and is a patron of the arts, enjoying musical theatre as much as a good bluegrass jam session. Support of and participation in fine arts in the community is very important to Lois Ann.
Taking her "Music Makes Us All Feel Better" performance philosophy into her community, Lois Ann donates her time and talents by performing "A Tribute to Love" at skilled nursing facilities and veterans homes.
Lois Ann has spent much of the past decade working as a freelance writer and editor with numerous human-interest stories published.
Lois Ann's husband of 25 years, Kevin, supports her in her musical outreach as manager and roadie. They have two children, Rachel and Timothy. She lives with her family in Columbia, Missouri.
Lois Ann grew up in the '60s amidst the upheaval of American culture, yet sheltered in the Ozark hills of South-Central Missouri. Her musical influences included a diversity of genres from classical to rock. She faithfully watched The Lawrence Welk Show and other variety shows of the day like Tony Orlando & Dawn, Sonny & Cher and Hee Haw, often with her blue Panasonic cassette recorder in front of the television.
The year was 1968 ... and Lois Ann's mother had purchased a small organ for the family, but was played primarily by one family member! It was the beginning of a lifetime of musical enjoyment for a little girl in the Ozarks who now shares her feel-good message of music with the world.
