Aileeah Colgan

Hailing from Peoria and recently signed to Green Show Records in East Peoria, Ms. Colgan is making waves in the regional music scene and heading for bigger things. She’s performed VIP pre-shows or opening slots for artists such as Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Shania Twain, RaeLynn, Rodney Atkins and Lee Greenwood. Aileeah grabbed first place for the state of Illinois in the national “Country Showdown” competition and recently starred as the girl in the video for big-time Nashville country star Cole Swindell’s song “Should Have Run After You.” Sometimes she plays soft and solo, but at LoG she’ll be toting a full, rocking modern country band. Aileeah’s debut album is available on iTunes and she’s currently at work on a follow-up record set for a 2017 release. Check out her latest single, “Country Scene,” complete with banjo and fiddles, electric rock guitar and lyrics about a “cornfed girl with skintight jeans” who’s “all about the country scene” that sounds tailor-made for modern country music listeners.
