"Body Can't Hold" from Jessie Early's debut EP, Wild Honey, out March 31.

Body Can't Hold

A rare Nashville-native, Jessie Early grew up surrounded by music. Her debut-EP is a blend of singer-songwriter lyrics, pop sensibilities, and a little 80's nod (think: dreamy DX-7s, roto-toms, snares tuned up as high as they'll go, a mid-ballad-modulation, and a fleetwood mac-"gypsy"-inspired-guitar solo). 

Two-years into the recording process, she felt unsettled with how the songs were turning out. With the EP about 75% done, she reached out to producer Jeremy Larson about tracking some strings. She loved working with him so much she turned to him to help her re-work a few songs, do a little extra programming, mix, and master the project. Between her original home-made garageband beats, her husband Aaron's drum parts, and Larson's fresh perspective, the unique beats and arrangements took on a new life that at the core still feel organic, human, and fun. 

She currently spends her days writing mostly for sync placement (with songs featured in ads for Tiffany & Co, Delta Faucets, and ABC Family's "Switched at Birth"). She lives in Nashville with her husband, Aaron and their tail-less dog, Cash.
