Jess Jocoy makes atmospheric Americana for rainy days and twilight hours, an ethereal sound with organic roots anchored by a longtime love of country music, a storyteller's nuanced delivery and a folksinger's finesse.
A sound that blurs the lines between genres, creating its own blend of twang and texture along the way.
Raised south of Seattle, Jess grew up beneath the drizzling skies and lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest amongst scenery that shaped her acclaimed debut album ‘Such a Long Way’ and the 2021 follow-up EP, ‘Brighter Eyes’, both created in her adopted hometown of Nashville.
Winning the Uber Music Movers Competition, Jess opened for country music artist Chase Rice during CMA Fest.
In 2019, she appeared on the NBC hit series 'Songland' pitching her song ‘Easy’ to Kelsea Ballerini.
