Hi, my name is Jessi and I'm an independent musician in the NYC area. I also write articles for Urban Folk magazine, design web pages, create fliers, and do various other music and technology related tasks. Please visit my Indie Music Resources blog for more. Meanwhile, Drawing Pretty Things is my big, giant archive for all things Jessi (in blog form).
Come on out to Bar4 on Friday December 14th for a free show with me (Jessi) at 8pm, Tanya Buziak at 9pm, and No Lindsay at 10pm. This is the last night of our Electro-Acoustic residency and my last show for the lovely year of 2007. Bring on 2008!
Electro Acoustic at Bar4 features Jessi Robertson, No Lindsay, and Tanya Buziak. The first show is Friday October 19th at 8:30pm sharp, featuring short sets from Jessi, Tanya, and No Lindsay. Future shows will feature longer sets.
Bar4 is at 444 7th Ave in Park Slope (Brooklyn, NY). Take the F train to 7th Ave. Exit at 7th Ave. and 9th St. Bar4 is just six short blocks up to 15th St. & 7th Ave. Visit Local Correspondents for more info.
My good friend Paul Aiden is coming to visit from the UK! He is an amazing musician and I am really excited about this show which fortuitously falls on his birthday.

Jessi Robertson (that's me, aka Jessie Robertson in this video, aka Jessi Lehr) is featured in a new video of her song Bullet (aka Bullets in this video) performing with Tanya Buziak and Tarrah Reynolds at Matchless. Yay! Take a look/listen and thanks to NYC Highlights:
"A voice that commands attention from the first line." -Performing Songwriter Magazine.
Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Jessi Robertson grew up in a tiny upstate New York town of under 1,000 people, but eventually moved to the big city and carved out a place for herself. Her first full band studio album, "Small Town Girls," to be released in February 2011, follows that journey.
Musically, Jessi lives on the divide between gutsy indie rockers such as PJ Harvey and gritty Americana artists like Lucinda Williams. Embracing this duality, her performances can feel as intimate as a conversation, or as deep and dark as an ocean.
