LILAN KANE
Lilan Kane (pronounced LEE - lawn) is an award winning singer-songwriter based in Oakland, CA. She released her album Love, Myself to a sold out crowd at Yoshi's in 2016 and she returns with new music.

She has been making waves with her corporate party band Hella Fitzgerald, and is looking forward to returning to the Yoshi's stage with new original music.
A Berklee College of Music graduate, she recently performed in New Orleans at the French Quarter Festival and graced the Yoshi's stage again, this time with the dynamic Cosa Nostra Strings. They also performed at Undercover Presents: A Tribute to the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Other notable performances include the Fillmore Jazz Festival, San Jose Winter Jazz Fest, Great American Music Hall, Sweetwater Music Hall, The Mint LA, the Whisky A Go-Go, and sold out shows at Yoshi's, SF JAZZ, and the Sound Room in Oakland. She has opened for Hall & Oates, The Doobie Brothers, Chicago, Sharon Jones, Trombone Shorty, and Morgan James.
