 Press

"Robertson expertly mixes an alt-country vocal style with electronic drumbeats, possessing a voice that commands attention from the first note. Her tone is captivating whether floating in a whispered reverie or letting loose over unconventional lyrics and acrobatic melodies."
Beth Walker, Performing Songwriter Magazine (December, 2008)

"Imagine a withering roar that's all at once strong, vulnerable, and beautiful. Jessi is a unique power-pop artist that delivers poetic insightful lyrics in catchy songs full of drama and life."
- Artist Loft Series, Tainted Blue Studios (September, 2008)

"This New York singer-songwriter draws comparisons to equally spirited alt-folk muses Tori Amos and PJ Harvey. But with her quavering, spiritual verses, the analogy she deserves is with Jeff Buckley, gender difference or no."
- Editor's Review, Download.com

"Jessi Robertson demonstrates the qualities in a singer that prove themselves time and time again. The qualities are of a soothing, soulful, graceful, honest, and emotive style. You will never want to stop listening to Jessi Robertson's story."
- Paul Richmond, Zest Radio Show (Oct 05, 2008)



 Biography

Since moving to Brooklyn in 2003, Jessi has played all over the city at venues including The Bitter End, CBGB’s 313 Gallery and Lounge, Pianos, Rockwood Music Hall, The American Folk Art Museum , and Public Assembly. Whether with a band or solo, Jessi captivates her audience with the raw honesty of her voice, and her passion to communicate.

Jessi has also been deeply involved in the local music scene as a co-founder of Local Correspondents (www.localcorrespondents.com), curator for September Concert (http://septemberconcert.org), and founder of “NY Sirens” (www.myspace.com/nysirens).

yes of course jessi, i actually wanted to say more ..but in that small amount of space ..i had only to be very brief..
anyway..i am in love with your voice..it is wonderfully refreshing in these times of troubadourian imposters..and yes i made up a word "troubadourian" anyway..so many people have failed my ears immediately...where you have succeeded in captivating me completely with your voice...very nice touch..nice songs too..if i had to put a name to it..the first thing that comes to mind is a heavy influence of jeff buckley...i would be trying too too hard to come up with more comparison and it is unnecessary.
But, i can definitely hear the honesty in your songs. keep up the good work that is so rare these days.
