Dilana Smith

In her new theater concert Legendary Men of Rock, Dilana sings songs by such illustrious male rock bands and singers as Led Zeppelin, Golden Earring, Queen and Bryan Adams. With her strong and spirited soul and rock voice and expressive body, she gives that unique frayed edge to these classics. Accompanied by top musicians, she sings her own songs in addition to covers, and links her eventful life to that of her rock heroes.  

In Legendary Men of Rock, Dilana once again goes wild with everything she has: she moves, seduces and knows how to get inveterate couch potatoes to dance.
