Boston-based singer-songwriter Jessye DeSilva (she/her) has been releasing music and touring nationally since 2019, earning praise from No Depression, Rolling Stone, and The Boot. Known for blending Americana roots with expansive, genre-defying songwriting, she has shared stages with Lisa Loeb, Adeem the Artist, and Brian Dunne, performed at AmericanaFest, and collaborated with artists including Jake Blount and Butch Walker.
She infuses hope into songs about religious alienation, mental health struggles, and societal injustice to create a uniquely queer and unholy ruckus. Jessye’s latest album Glitter Up the Dark was produced by Aaron Lee Tasjan and incorporates Eighties pop and Nineties alternative flourishes to the Americana and country-rock sounds of 2023’s Renovations and her 2022 debut Landscapes, which earned her a nomination for Americana Artist of the Year at the 2022 Boston Music Awards.
No Depression says “Comparisons to Elton John and Brandi Carlile are easy — DeSilva clearly takes a page from these idols, anchoring [her] songs in pop melody juggernauts, gauzy textures, and vocal bravado.” Nashville Scene named her a 2023 Artist To Watch, saying “DeSilva could inject new life into a genre that could definitely use a little more pretzel logic.”
We're so thrilled to welcome Jessye back after her first stunning series appearance. This is a live show experience not to be missed!
