Orlando-based blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Alex Kilroy delivers powerful, boundary-pushing performances that honor traditional roots while forging a distinct modern sound. Originally born in Transylvania, Romania , Kilroy spent his early childhood training on classical piano before a life-changing introduction to the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan permanently shifted his trajectory toward the blues.
