Nili Brosh performs the national anthem and Beat It with the rest of the Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil cast, at a sold-out NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs. Arizona Coyotes game on March 28, 2018.
As the only live musician in what Rolling Stone magazine hails “A virtual parade of ‘wow’ moments,” world-renowned guitarist Nili Brosh commands the stage of the Cirque du Soliel Michael Jackson ONE performance night after night in Las Vegas. Adorned in gold and shooting fire out of her guitar, her presence on stage leaves no doubt that there is still more to come from this accomplished guitarist.

She recently released her second album entitled “A Matter of Perception”, featuring a heavyweight rhythm section including Virgil Donati, Bryan Beller, Marco Minnemann, Stu Hamm, Aquiles Priester, and others.
After her first album release, Nili joined The Iron Maidens, for whom she played many US cities with. Later, she became a member of Tony MacAlpine’s band, touring the US, Europe, and Mexico. She has also made guest appearances with Andy Timmons, Stu Hamm, Guthrie Govan, The Aristocrats, and has opened for Yngwie Malmsteen on his 2013 “Spellbound” US tour.
