Aileen Quinn And The Leapin' Lizards masterfully mix classic Rockabilly hits with unforgettable and soulful originals. From Festivals to Car Shows, Corporate Events, Private Parties and Clubs, Aileen Quinn and The Leapin' Lizards are sure to liven up any occasion!
Led by Golden Globe nominated Aileen Quinn, best known for playing the title role in the 1982 film “ANNIE”, directed by John Huston and acting alongside Carol Burnett. In addition to her Golden Globe nomination, she was awarded “Best Actor” by The Youth In Film Awards. Aileen has also recorded two albums with Columbia Records: The multi-Platinum selling “ANNIE” Soundtrack and a solo album, “Bobby’s Girl”, produced by legendary Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton Producer, Gary Klein.
She made her Broadway debut at age 8 in “ANNIE” as an Orphan. For over 30 years, she has continued being a triple-threat performer, acting, singing and dancing on Broadway, Off-Broadway, Regional Theatre, Films, Television, Commercials, Animation and Voiceovers.
After moving to Los Angeles in 2011, she was thrilled to meet a group of musicians who would inspire her to fall in love with the sound of past eras, particularly 20s thru 60s Rockabilly and Swing.
Through her collaboration with co-writer and co-producer Tom Murray, she has found her voice now as a songwriter, as well as performer, with “Aileen Quinn and The Leapin’ Lizards”. She is excited to be back in the studio again working on the band’s second album.
