Jessie's Bio
Jessie Ritter plays a heartfelt brand of country with a breezy romantic feel and plenty of charm. As the title track of her most recent album states: she is truly “Living The Dream.” Based in Northwest Florida, Jessie spends her weekdays being a full-time mom to her son and daughter, gardening, baking bread, dancing, swimming in the ocean, spending date night with her husband, and dreaming up songs. Her weekends are full of performances playing nearly 100 shows a year. You can find Jessie headlining house concerts, sharing intimate stories in a listening room, warming up the crowd as an opening act on the big stages, performing at songwriter festivals, or leading a sing along in a hotel bar.
Through her career Jessie has lived and been a songwriter in Nashville, sang all over the world performing for Carnival Cruise Line, and released four albums independently. In 2018 Jessie won Nash Next, a national country music competition, and signed a record deal with Big Machine Label Group. In 2021 she reached number one on The Country Network’s Top 20 Countdown and was featured on CMT with her song “Home.” Jessie has been awarded for her songwriting, records, and videos by The Josie Music Awards, The Unsigned Only Music Competition, The International Songwriting Competition, The Beachcomber Music Awards, and Music City SongStar.
Jessie is a native of Cape Girardeau Missouri. She continues to weave themes of home, family, friends, love, and the country music she was raised on into her songs. She is currently writing and recording new music.
