Our Story
Whiskey Kisses Promotions was born out of a love for live, grassroots music.
Americana/Alt. Country singer-songwriter, Emilia Quinn, moved to Leeds in 2018 and found herself breaking into the UK Country music scene. With a background in gig promotion, Emilia wanted to bring more Country to Leeds and introduce songwriter rounds to more people outside of the Country music scene. Beginning with a line up consisting of friends Katee Kross, Finola, April Jai and Kezia Gill, Emilia received a great feedback which encouraged her to run a round every month. Whiskey Kisses Promotions also put on bands nights, so far hosting the likes of Stevie O’Connor, Katy Hurt, The Bluehighways, Morganway and more.
Whiskey Kisses is a labour of love named after one of Emilia’s songs. It aims to provide a platform for artists falling under the Americana, Country and Roots music umbrella in Leeds. It is a fair and friendly environment for all artists and audience alike.
