Jessica is a Canadian British Columbian grown singer songwriter, beginning her journey of playing guitar at age 9. She is a self-taught musician who learned how to play by observing others and practicing their technique. Jessica is a transparent artist and observing soul that comes alive when she plays her heart out, and has found that songwriting is a way of being able to express her inner thoughts. She loves the Island life how gently everything moves and breathes. Being a musician on Vancouver Island, Jessica feels understood, free, playful and inspired. Her main goal and practice in life is to play publicly without apology.

Head of the Herd:

The art of telling stories, of expressing emotion, of speaking with rhythm and register, has been a need of humanity since the very beginning. Without storytelling we have silence. Head of the Herd is opposite that silence – the music and sound of our lives.

Emily Spiller:

Emily Spiller is the next Adele, the new Duffy. A mix of Zap Mama & Feist meets Amy Winehouse. A mash up of blues, jazz, and soul infused vocals that simultaneously ache and soothe. The room falls silent when Emily sings. She finishes her set and leaves you wanting more.
