Jessica Willis Fisher is a singer-songwriter-fiddler with a storyteller’s heart. Raised playing traditional folk music from an early age, she performed with her family band in the Irish, Country, and Bluegrass music scenes and made appearances on the Grand Ole Opry and America’s Got Talent. Her Americana-leaning debut solo album “Brand New Day” features both deeply autobiographical lyrics and foot-stomping anthems. Her sophomore record “Blooming” is an ode to the power of knowing who we are, all our beautiful scars and vulnerable strengths included. Her performances blend acoustic centered folk-Americana, singer-songwriter, and old-time sounds, including fiddle driven instrumentals.
