Leilani Kilgore

A Nashville transplant hailing from the West Coast, Leilani Kilgore serves aggressive hard-hitting rock with a touch of meaningful blues and fearlessly honest emotional expression. Her versatile writing has earned her headlining slots in legendary clubs such as the High Watt and Smith's Olde Bar, and placed her as the opener for renowned musical acts like Buddy Guy, and The Dead Daisies (feat. Glenn Hughes and Doug Aldrich). Leilani's music has allowed her to perform internationally in multiple countries and has grown in a well-oiled machine of a live performance. With in-your-face vocals and fearless solos, this isn't a show you want to miss.
