Lisa Layne was born in Tyler, Texas and at the early age of
three moved to Dallas. She began singing professionally at the tender
age of four. She worked shows with her Dad, who is a professional
musician, on and off through her school years. Lisa formed her first
band, just after high school. She was the lead vocalist and played Bass
Guitar in the band. This ultimately led to her being noticed by a local
band, Vince Vance and The Valiants, which had had a taste of some major
success. Lisa worked the road with them for the better part of five
years. During that time they recorded the song "All I Want For
Christmas Is You". Lisa won the role of Patsy Cline in the first
National Tour of a "Closer Walk with Patsy Cline" She toured
with that tour for the better part of two years before she joined the
Nashville troupe as the lead in that same show.
