In 2020, Dakota became a full-time musician, performing regularly on Broadway in Nashville, hitting the stages at Tootsies, Ole Red, Kid Rock's, Whiskey Bent Saloon, the Second Fiddle, Tin Roof, and Redneck Riviera.
Growing up on Oldies, DooWop, and classic rock, Dakota Leigh's passion and sound will bring you back in time... with a set list ranging from The Ronettes, Cher, and The Pointer Sisters to Fleetwood Mac, Springsteen, The Eagles and Journey. You can look forward to a show filled with the best tunes of the 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond.
