Bio
...................................................... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... NEW EP "FIREWORKS CHILD" COMING SOON .... "Not gonna lie: The Hideout, a venue tucked away behind a coffeeshop, is one of Austin's more curious spots, but North Texas-based singer-songwriter Jessie Frye make the funkiness work in her favor. Showing off tunes from her forthcoming, John Congleton-produced EP, Frye displayed a far harder edge than last year's showcase. Propulsive, immersive and compelling, these fresh works bode well for Frye's future." -Preston Jones, Star Telegram SXSW 2010 Review .... It has been a whirlwind for Jessie Frye for the past year and a half. She released her debut EP titled The Delve in late 2008, and soon after received an invitation for her band to showcase at the 2009 South By Southwest music festival in Austin, TX. Which would result in the band getting invited back for another showcase in 2010. 2009 was spent in the studio recording Frye's second EP titled Fireworks Child, due out in the Fall 2010. It was produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Polyphonic Spree) and mixed by Joe McGrath (Ryan Adams, Morrissey, Green Day). The sound is more electric and edgier- but still contains a level of initmacy that had listener's of The Delve so intrigued. Frye's brightest moment came when she was offered to be the opening support for Pat Benatar at the House of Blues Dallas in August 2010. With rave reviews to follow, the whirlwind of Frye's musical journey seems to just keep on going. Jessie Frye was nominated for Best Female Vocalist in the 2010 Dallas Observer Awards and the 2009 Ft. Worth Weekly Awards .. .. "She is one of the area's most promising young talents and for very good reason. Her voice is both soulful and incredibly bright and has been the topic of discussion for many ever since her outstanding performance at South by Southwest." ..MyDentonMusic.com.. .... "Frye fairly exploded the conventions of penning and crooning your own tunes, alternating between sassy defiance, wide-eyed vulnerability and sultry beckoning during her tight, eclectic set." ..SXSW 2009.. performance review- Preston Jones, ..www.dfw.com.. .... "It's a stirring moment from an effort that balances professionalism with passion, slick production and performances that cannot mask the inherent emotion of a half-dozen songs perfectly suited for the National Public Radio set. If Frye ever chooses to venture further from the safety net of her undeniable talent, she might prove to be dangerous in alarming ways." The Delve EP -Darryl Smyers, ..Dallas Observer.. .... Nominated for Best Female Vocalist in the ..Ft. Worth Weekly 2009 Music Awards... .... ...... .. .. .. .... I began playing piano when I was twelve. Soon after that I decided to be home schooled. I spent those days and nights heavily immersed in literature and music. Something bigger than myself told me that nothing was more important than pursuing the creative spirit inside of me. So, I followed that guidance. .... In August of 2008 I released my first EP titled The Delve. Since then I've had the wonderful opportunities of playing venues such as SXSW and The House of Blues. Me and the band are currently in the studio with John Congleton (The Paper Chase) recording the new album. .... As a musician and an aesthetic, my goal is to create music with substance, depth and a quality of beauty. Everything comes to life with expression. Art is truth for me. When I write, everything makes sense. I want to share that beauty, that intimacy- even if it is just for three minutes and thirty seconds. .... ...... ...... .... ...... .. .. .. .. .. ........................ -
