JESS VINCENT  www.jessvincentsings.com
Wiltshire singer songwriter Jess Vincent has a highly original style which is getting noticed: “Soulful, strong and utterly engrossing” says Mick Tems, Folk Wales; “uniquely and obliquely original” Rock’n’Reel R2.
SHINE, Jess’s third album is due for general release Sept 25th 2015. A collection of songs exploring themes of light, shade and survival, through what the album producer and renowned folk musician in his own right, Reg Meuross, describes as Jess’s ‘magical voice and exceptional and truly innovative songwriting talent’. Some of the songs tell real life stories, such as ‘Billy Tipton’s Waltz’ (Billy was a jazz pianist in the 1950s. Born biologically female, he lived his adult life as a man and became a very successful musician); ‘New Amsterdam’ is about silent movie actress Olive Thomas who died in mysterious circumstances and whose ghost is said to haunt the New Amsterdam Theatre to this day. ‘Wind On The Down’ is based on the beautifully tragic poem of that name by Marian Allen, written after her fiancé was killed when his plane was shot down in 1917. ‘Charley’s Song’ was inspired by a friend of Jess’s who is an officer in the army, and is a tribute to her bravery and the extraordinary responsibility that she, and other officers, takes on. Alongside these characters, Jess also brings us some more personal revelations ‘Wrong Shade of Blue’ and country style heartbreak ‘Shackles and Chains’.
Jess delivers her songs with her unique and gorgeous voice, and ‘Shine’ presents her trademark subtle arrangements on guitar, baritone uke, shruti box, bass, harmonium, dulcimer, cello, accordions, piano, trumpet and percussion, revealing a maturity that belies her youth, yet allowing her vulnerability to shine through.  

"Jess Vincent is a name that should become as familiar on the lips as the wind is upon the trees” Fatea Records.

Over ten years of mixing live audio has left me with a collection of 'Bootlegs' that is shared here. Why not, eh? Oh, if you own any material here and would rather it wasn't here, just drop me a message and it'll disappear. Simple as that. I only take credit for mixing it live. Enjoy.

Original, Acoustic music from Maldon, Essex.
Accompanied by Sean Pollard (Keys), Toby Power (Percussion), and occasionally Emma Morris (Bass).

'The Ghost' recently featured on BBC Essex Introducing (March 2014), which is super exciting.
We have also had 'Little Bird' featured on a Mothercare online advertising campaign! I re-wrote the lyrics to 'Rescue Me' to suit their product, and am enormously proud. Hopefully will feature at Jamie Oliver's Big Feastival again this year, having appeared in the Mothercare corner for Jools Oliver in 2013.

Tracks are currently free to download, as they are all recorded, mixed and produced at home. Just spread the love!
