“She is a STAR… One of the best vocalists of the decade.’” – BroadwayWorld
This gal…What a voice! What a doll! What a light! A West Coast transplant from a musical theater background playing all the best rooms there like: Catalina Jazz, Feinstein’s at the Nikki and the Blue Strawberry. She has also played major roles in regional theaters. This singer-actress is now OURS…and New York and the New York Cabaret community is the better for it! Do not miss her upcoming show, “The Windmills of My Mind for Dusty Springfield” at 54 Below. Trust me, watch this interview because she will sell herself when you meet her…”she” is the lovely Lianne Marie Dobbs!
*This is a special bonus posting due to the closeness of her performance date on November 6th! Zoom rudely clipped us off at the end but I wanted to close by saying: “Thank you for watching AND…We are NiteLife Exchange!” Peace everyone!
