About Kyleen Downes - Guitarist/songwriter Kyleen Downes has chosen music as her way to interact with the world. Her songs are sonically approachable and remind you of scanning the radio dial in search of a companion on a long road trip. Her high energy stage performance and infectious optimism transcend the stage leaving everyone a little happier after a show. She utilizes both her acoustic and electric guitars along with a looper pedal to layer imaginative guitar techniques and create an upbeat tapestry of sound. She has opened for nationally touring songwriters, Glen Phillips and Chris Smither, receives regular airplay on WYSO Public Radio and has performed with her band at the Levitt Pavilion Dayton.
