She's played the Bluebird Cafe, Sunday Spotlight Series. She's sung the National Anthem for the women's NCAA final four. She wrote her first song at 11 years old and hasn't stopped since. She is known as the "Country Fried Princess" . Country-rock to the core, Jessica and her band continue to build their following around the Southeast.

Jessica's musical influences are varied. With her dad a guitarist, she would hear Fernando Sor classical exercises every morning as an alarm clock. Listening to The Beatles, Delbert McClinton, Allison Krauss, Vince Gill, and Dolly Parton helped shape Jessica's taste in music. When she heard her first Dixie Chicks song, she entered her school talent show (6th Grade) and decided she would live her life on stage. She is consistently called a real entertainer due to her sense of humor and performance ability.

In the past 3 years, Jessica has traveled all over the Southeast, opening for acts like T. Graham Brown, The Atlanta Rhythm Section, The LoCash Cowboys and The Classic Rock Allstars. She played the Martina McBride after party at the Plex in Charleston, SC. She is comfortable with an audience of five to 5000. During the 2007 NCAA Final Four in Atlanta, Jessica and the band headlined for the pre-party at the Georgia World Congress Center, to a crowd of over 5000.

With grace under pressure, Jessica continues to audition for contests and performances. Most recently, she and her band won the Shift2Nissan National Battle of the Bands competing against 80 acts across the country she was the only country female artist in the competition. Jessica walked away with $10K in prizes from the win. In 2006, she decided to try her hand at Nashville Star auditioning first in the masses in Atlanta not getting a call back, she was determined not to give up and proceeded to audition in New York. Among the 1200+ auditioning there, Jess was called back getting an opportunity in front of the producers. She wasn't the "character" they were looking for but her original song and performance received high praise. In 2005, just a few months after beginning her music career full-time, she auditioned for the Colgate Country Showdown, winning all the way to the Regional level. Jessica's successful background in musical theatre contributes to her drive and ambition to write and perform.

Jessica is currently recording her second CD to be released this fall.
