Jessie Baylin

Jessie Baylin emerged at the end of the 2000s with a warm, rootsy sound that encompassed folk, pop, country, and jazz while recalling classic 1970s singer/songwriters. Over her subsequent albums, many of them recorded with indie producer Richard Swift, her music became more sonically adventurous, like 2012's torchy Little Spark and 2015's psychedelically touched Dark Place. Following the 2018 children's album Strawberrry Wind and the death of collaborator Swift, Baylin remained relatively quiet until the 2022 release of her fifth LP, Jersey Girl.
