City Sounds: Jess Irvine, 30 May
Friday, 5:00pm, 6:00pm and 7:00pm , outside the Wintergarden
Jess Irvine is the heart-over-head folk-pop singer-songwriter your playlist has been missing on long drives, weekend picnics, Tuesday brunches and every day in between. And yet, she feels familiar somehow. In the band ‘The Lighthearts’ Jess saw commercial success as lead singer, tambourinist and professional flowy-dress-twirler.
Now as a soloist, her sunbeam smile meets her rich, enchanting vocal and unmistakeable honesty to produce a show which leaves every person in the room feeling moved, understood and loved. Combining influence from folk legends like Joni Mitchell and with modern-day muses such as Maggie Rogers, Jess’ original songs bottle her life lessons into heartfelt mantras for the modern-day dreamer.
