Diana Lawrence

Called a “drop dead show stopper” by Music Connection Magazine, pianist, singer and songwriter DIANA LAWRENCE effortlessly combines modern pop, soul and folk with the craft and theatricality of Tin Pan Alley and the Brill Building. Diana has toured the east coast and the greater Midwest, while regularly performing at some of the best venues Chicago has to offer, including the Double Door, Schubas, the Green Mill and SPACE, where she recently opened for Nellie McKay. In August 2010, Diana’s band, Diana & the Dishes, released their debut album, “Take A Picture,” and her latest album, “To: Aging Children” (a solo EP-in-the-form-of-a-letter) was released in 2012. Diana’s multi-playwright collaborative musical, NEXT STOP, was workshopped at the Steppenwolf Garage in 2013, and MILL GIRLS, her musical for young women, will be premiered at The Music Theatre Company in 2015. When not focusing on original material, Diana has been found working as a singer, pianist and music director with organizations such as The Second City, The Chicago Symphony Chorus, The Chicago Children’s Choir, Porchlight Music Theatre and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.
