Diane is one of the most important and cherished members of The Outliers' family. She is the person responsible for the creation of the band (in its earliest incarnation), she consistently maintains her status as The Outliers #1 fan, and frequently plays the role of confidant, therapist, life guru and true friend to all members of the band. Diane's wit, gregarious personality, and ability to find the good in people is what endears her to the band and makes her a welcomed sight at any and all gigs. We love you Diane, and we're thrilled you're back on the Island! | |
