Jessica Long & The New Kind

Staff — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 20:26:31 +0000

Jessica Long’s entrancing voice and unique style create a refreshing new alternative
sound that ?nds its roots in vintage rock and acoustic folk music. She recently ?nished
recording her debut album in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer Billy Smiley.
The CD features a pallet of Jessica’s original compositions that showcase her
exceptional song-crafting skills. The album selections include sounds that range from
folk rock to acoustic ballads. The album is now available on itunes as well as in
physical form on the website.
Coming from a family of music lovers, Jessica remembers listening to her parent’s
albums and studying the charismatic features of each artist. Even as a young girl, the
song-writing of Lennon and McCartney, the poetic balladry of Simon & Garfunkel and
the vocal harmonies of the Beach Boys were some of the wonders that left a lasting
impression on her. Jessica began composing her own songs at the age of 10, and her
enthusiasm for the performing arts also led her to participation in the theatre. While
studying music, theatre and ?lm in college, Jessica’s passion for song-writing was
rekindled. After theatre rehearsals, she would often lock herself in one of the music
rooms with guitar and piano while she worked for many hours to create her own
music.
Drawing on her own experiences as well as her keen observation of others, Jessica’s
lyrical style opens a poetic window on the realities of human nature that will resonate
with those who experience her music. Jessica’s distinctive sound mingled with the
foundational in?uences of her formative years has enabled her to produce music that
will inspire all listeners.

The Tyler Trudeau Attempt (New Haven/Brooklyn)
The Tyler Trudeau Attempt came into the world as a shy, solitary boy and a four-track. Over the years, it morphed into four righteous young men who know perfectly well how to rock and are perpetually eager to do so.
