Bio
Invoking the spirit of the times with the soulfulness of Joni Mitchell and the enchantment of First Aid Kit, Jessica Malone is not a mere combination of her influences, but an acknowledgement of them—mixed with something purely singular and unique altogether.
Jessica was raised in the mountains of Northern California and her songs seem to grow from the landscape itself. Combining a sultry voice, introspective lyrics, and an earthy folk-roots sound, Malone’s music is both a healing balm for these troubled times and a soundtrack for happier days—proving once again that relevant songwriters have a message for all places and times.
From dimly-lit solo acoustic songbird confessions to rambunctious & rollicking full-band efforts, Jessica Malone’s songwriting takes appreciative listeners on a journey which culminates somewhere between self discovery and reverie.
Intimate new track, “House With a Yard,” Malone concludes with a current truth: “I can’t afford a house in California with a yard.” Finger-picked “Damn” explores the timeless ins and outs of relationships (“Now you’re leavin’, what other choice do I have?”), while fiddle-led fan-favorite “Porch Swing Sundays” chalks it all up to to the mystery of nature: “That old moon, she’s pulling me again—must have me confused with the tide.”
Whoever and wherever you may be, there is certainly an aspect of Jessica’s lyrical leanings which you’ll relate to. For fans of soulful folk, explorative alternative, and those wishing to reach the true heart of honest songwriting, Jessica Malone’s music is a rendezvous with a kindred spirit.
She has received six Sacramento Music Awards "Sammies" over the last four years including; Folk Artist, Singer/Songwriter, and Artist Of The Year. Opening for the likes of John Paul White and Front Country—while sharing festival billings, such as Bottlerock Music Festival in Napa, with Robert Plant, Avett Brothers, and Trampled By Turtles—Jessica Malone is well on her way to the national spotlight.
