An evening of live music with Jilian Linklater and special guest Kaylee Jasperson

Lake Orion, Michigan born singer-songwriter Jilian Linklater had no idea a Taylor Swift Karaoke contest would be the catalyst of her songwriting career in 2008. But when she won a trip to Nashville at 17 and learned “people wrote songs for a living”, she was hooked and never looked back.

Jilian penned songs that landed her writing credits with recording artists Jason Gray, JJ Heller, MamaDear, Caroline Kole and more. Her songs have been featured by national brands including Disney, Amazon, and Netflix as well as television shows American Ninja Warrior, Degrassi and many more. Her writing prowess got her into writing rooms with some of Nashville’s top writers and producers including Dave Berg (Keith Urban, Reba) and Cason Cooley (Ben Rector, Ingrid Michaelson) as well as onto coveted Nashville songwriter stages like the famous Bluebird Cafe. Jilian’s self released records and singles have also accumulated over 6 million spins on Spotify. Jilian’s honest and authentic voice paired with her conversational and confessional lyrics have captured listeners and artists alike. Jilian currently resides in Seattle, WA with her dog Toby and travel companion “Wildflower” – a van she converted with her grandfather in 2021.
