Jamie Lynn Vessels

Jamie creates original New Orleans Roots Rock for the Wanderers, the Dreamers, the Fighters -- with hard-hitting guitar riffs and lyrics that don’t shy away from the hard and hopeful experiences that make us human. Jamie's voice and her unabashed honesty consistently create a community out of a room full of strangers. 
   
The melting pot that is the New Orleans music scene had primed her to thrive in spaces that center on shared human experience, also leading Jamie to write even more about trauma, recovery, disordered eating, neurodivergence, depression and anxiety. Even her newest album’s forthright political offerings are born from a protectiveness, standing against anything that would erode our sense of common humanity. Summing up her approach to songwriting and performing, Jamie says simply, “I want everyone to feel seen and included.” 
   
Channeling the likes of Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow and Beth Hart, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist has developed a name for herself in the roots music culture in New Orleans. With three full studio albums under her belt, along with a handful of single releases, Jamie has shared stages with many notable Crescent City artists, including Paul Sanchez, Susan Cowsill, Sam Doores, Papa Mali, Jim McCormick, and Michael Cerveris. She has appeared on several artist's albums, garnered praise from peers and domestic and international fans alike, played nationally, and has solo and band residencies in and around the Crescent City.
