”Saucy and sunny” according to Variety, and a genuine feminist from San Fran with a penchant for used bookstores, the [now] NYC-based actor & singer, Lianne is lauded as one of the "Best Vocalists of the Decade" by BroadwayWorld (Dec 2020). Her debut album “Everything Old is New Again” is on Shout! Broadway records, and reached the Top Ten Vocal Albums of the Year list in multiple publications. During the pandemic, Lianne and her partner, Luke Darnell, volunteered over 60 virtual concerts to seniors in isolation and their caregivers through Sing For Your Seniors and Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
