Lance Diamond
soul singer
BMHOF Class of 1992

There are not many area entertainers that can boast of fans from a couple generations. Parents remember Lance Diamond from shows at The Executive in the mid 70's. Their kids know him as the guest vocalist, with the Goo Goo Dolls. However, both of these generations still go see him perform today and consider Mr. Diamond to be the best dressed and hardest working showman in Buffalo Music.
 

Lance started performing in 1970 with the New Breed. In the 70's and 80's he traveled across the U.S. and to Japan with Isaac and the Lance Diamond Show. During this time he  opened for such national artists as James Brown, Bill Cosby, The Righteous Brothers and many others.
 

He came to the attention of a new generation of fans  when he recorded with the Goo Goo Dolls. This merger of a Las Vegas-style show performer and fast-paced, almost thrash style of the Goo Goo Dolls brought him local and national notoriety. With the Goo Goo Dolls he has done performances from NYC to LA, receiving fan mail from all points between, along with being featured in almost all national Rock publications.
 

Currently, several major record companies have expressed interest in signing Lance to record with them and under the production of Van  Taylor he has completed demo songs featuring musicians the likes of George
Puleo and Kenny Hawkins. Lance currently appears every Friday and Saturday at the Elmwood Lounge. He now even has his own radio show. Check his web page, which is associated with The Goo Goo Dolls, for updates and additional information.
