Jessamyn Rains’ music career started in Central Illinois. Her mixed-bag mélange of music mentors included a chain-smoking jazz drummer, some heavy metal guitarists, a couple salty band directors, some church ladies and the guy who started the whole thing - her dad. Her use of music as a vehicle to chase after beauty, expression and truth culminates in her 2016 album All My Secrets, a collection of songs about her struggles and her encounters with people, places, and the stories they tell.
