I wrote this song when I went back to visit my childhood family farm for the first time in twenty years. This is my story, about my loss, and the change I had to go through. But I think you'll find your own story here as well. I think we all long for the home that no longer exists. -Jessie
Welcome
Hey there. I'm Jessie. I sing and write country music. I grew up in Southeast Missouri, went to college in Nashville, toured the world performing nightly on cruise ships, and eventually landed on the Emerald Coast in Florida. I call both Pensacola and Nashville home, and love to travel singing my own songs and my favorite covers. I love family. I love Jesus. I love people. I seek sunshine and a simple life. These things make my songs sound just like me. All I have to share is my heart. I hope you'll take time to listen to its beating.
