Born into a musical family, Jess Bush took her first piano lesson at age seven and was instantly hooked. Inspired by the musical open heart surgery of legends like Carole King, Elton John, Al Green, and Brandi Carlile, her soulful vocals, raw, honest lyrics, and bluesy piano stylings result in an unmistakably earnest Americana sound. In May of 2023, Jess was awarded "Best Overall" at the Songwriters at Play songwriting competition. This landed her a session at Joel Jacks Studios in Santa Ynez, CA, where she has since recorded several singles in the same room that has captured the music of icons like David Crosby, Olivia Newton-John, Michael McDonald, and more.
