About Jessica Long

Jessica Long's entrancing voice and unique style create a refreshing new alternative sound that finds its roots in vintage rock and acoustic folk music. She recently finished recording her debut album in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer Billy Smiley. The CD features a pallet of Jessica's original compositions that showcase her exceptional song-crafting skills. The album selections include sounds that range from folk rock to acoustic ballads. The album is now available on itunes as well as in physical form on the website. Coming from a family of music lovers, Jessica remembers listening to her parent's albums and studying the charismatic features of each artist. Even as a young girl, the song-writing of Lennon and McCartney, the poetic balladry of Simon & Garfunkel and the vocal harmonies of the Beach Boys were some of the wonders that left a lasting impression on her. Jessica began composing her own songs at the age of 10, and her enthusiasm for the performing arts also led her to participation in the theatre. While studying music, theatre and film in college, Jessica's passion for song-writing was rekindled. After theatre rehearsals, she would often lock herself in one of the music rooms with guitar and piano while she worked for many hours to create her own music. Drawing on her own experiences as well as her keen observation of others, Jessica's lyrical style opens a poetic window on the realities of human nature that will resonate with those who experience her music. Jessica's distinctive sound mingled with the foundational influences of her formative years has enabled her to produce music that will inspire all listeners. Currently on tour for their upcoming EP "Geography" - Official Release Show April 20th, 2012
