Jesse Lynn Madera creates songs with depth and thought-provoking lyrics, seamlessly blending country, folk, soul, and jazz. American Songwriter adds, “Madera’s lyrical and piano-driven songs are passionate and alluring, with a dramatic, ethereal, and almost otherworldly tone. Evoking comparisons to the shapeshifting brilliance of Kate Bush and the confessional pop sensibilities of Tori Amos.” Madera is currently working with Dan Navarro on her second full-length studio album, Speed of Sound, which will be released in early 2024. Music Connection named Jesse to their annual Hot 100 list of the Best Unsigned Artists in 2022 and she was a Finalist in the Americana category in the Unsigned Only 2023 competition.  Her live performances have earned her a devoted following from coast to coast with recent touring highlights including festival appearances at Mile 0, 30A, Annapolis Songwriters, and Mile of Music, Folk Alliance, a two-month tour with The Zombies, and shows with Navarro, Maddie Poppe, and Mary Fahl.
