Lois Ann performed for me at a charity function. She is not only a beautiful lady, but has a wonderful voice. She interacts with the audience. She just blew us all away with her performance. I plan on having her perform again at my next function. She is a wonderful, beautiful, kind and very very talented lady.
Lois totally entertained our residents! They loved her and want her back. With her sequins dress, boas, hats and dance, she had the place hopping! A great time.
I hired Lois to intertain at my husbands surprise Birthday party. I had seen Lois perform and knew she could sing and work a crowd, but I had no idea how many hours she prepares ahead of time to give you the best party ever. She covered every thing I ask for plus, she even worked with my grandchildren ahead of time to give special songs and times for their Grandfather. Lois kept my husband the main attaction but also managed to include our guest in her intertainment.Many people said, "that was the best Birthday Party I've ever been to". Hire Lois and relax!
One of the most diverse entertainers we have ever had at Pem’s Place… Lois Ann Marler sings some of the best jazz, oldies, rock & country hits! With a great personality and sense of humor, she really connects with her audience and brings them into her act. And if her performance wasn’t enough, she is so great to work with behind the scenes. Very easy going, she can adapt to many different audience types and chance up her performance as needed.
It has been a pleasure working with Lois Ann and we will certainly have her back in our club!

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.
Her adult life met with many opportunities to sing in church choir, weddings, funerals and fundraisers. After stints in musical theater, Lois Ann decided to develop her own musical shows, and the rest is history.
