Alex Webb I listened to this album on repeat on the bus ride to school, taking walks, doing art, and just generally going through life for several years. This album has absolutely had an impact on my psyche. Even if I still don't have any context for the songs, to me, this album is like a well-worn and well-loved pair of boots. Thank you for carrying me. Favorite track: Desperate Dreams.

about

Jess's third cd "Reveal" does just that by pairing music industry hard hitters Matt Chamberlain (Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, David Bowie) and Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett, Bill Frisell), and emerging artists Craig Barnette (Donavon Frankenreiter, Mofro) and Dan Phelps (Tori Amos) with a songwriter who has been called "striking and daring, lyrically and literally" (KGPR 89.9 FM). Jess's theatrical storytelling, musical complexities and dancer driven rhythms lets you in on a personal journey so vivid you blend her past with your own. Breaking personal and musical boundaries, “Reveal is a distinctive record made all the more interesting by its biting observations.” (Nashville Scene)

"Biting observations... which owe as much to Gregory Corso as to Fiona Apple, with gritty tone selection and restrained virtuosity." Nashville Scene

Jess's theatrical storytelling is mixed with revealing emotions and memorable vocals. Her music requires you to constantly question assumptions, empathize, reflect, act and most importantly, BE. It also allows sparks of insight to be ignited. ... more
