Growing up on a steady diet of The Lawrence Welk Show, Hee Haw, and Sonny & Cher, it's no wonder that Lois Ann appeals to baby boomers and mature audiences with her variety-show approach to entertainment.
Whether she's strutting her stuff to old favorites like Proud Mary, crooning to Frank Sinatra's Fly Me To The Moon, or getting down to a Sara Evans country standard like Born to Fly, expect a high-energy, interactive performance from Lois Ann, one that engages the audience and encourages everyone to have fun. (Listen to Lois Ann's song clips on the player at right.)
Can't afford a band but want a live entertainer? Hire Lois Ann to entertain your crowd with her vast selection of backing tracks to suit any crowd. Formal affair? Lois Ann pulls out all the stops with sequin gowns, feather boas and satin gloves. Audience favorites are listed below, arranged by genre.
