Since relocating to Southern California Jessica Burks has transformed herself from a heartland singer/songwriter into a pop rock songstress of note, working with a variety of major and independent producers in a plethora of styles while maintaining a unity of vision that rises above genres and categories. Headlining shows at clubs in Hollywood and L.A., including her monthly Jessica Burks and Friends shows at Café Audrey and guest spots at Life and The Rainbow Room, she has also appeared at The Whiskey, The Hudson and The Cat Club in Hollywood, Blue Dog Café, The Prospector and Open Books in Long Beach and The Mint and Little Ethiopia Restaurant in LA and some notable festivals. To all of these events she brings a fresh take on pop music that's relevant in more than name only.
Never afraid to take chances, she's held forth with daring original sets (including successfully opening a heavy metal show with an Acoustic guitar) and created her own brand of psychologically devastating pop while garnering CMJ adds on the world and pop/rock music charts. A recent EP gained her major airplay across the country including KPFK and KDVS in California, KTUH in Honolulu, KUNV in Las Vegas, KPFT in Houston, Texas, KGNU in Boulder, Colorado, WRRB in Trenton, New Jersey, WCSB in Cleveland, WAPS in Akron, Ohio, WXXE in Syracuse New York, WRIR in Richmond, Virginia and WYCE in Grand Rapids, Michigan as well as international play in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil,Portugal and, Jamaica.
Her music inspires comments like "Singing is her breathing," "a voice you can't turn your back on" and "there's nothing out there quite like it that I know of," Sirius Satellite host Dermot Hussey says "Burks has one of those great American voices that tells so much about the country." Reviews in the current issue of Beat Magazine refer to her "raw, yearning and seductive voice." The chemical mix of Jessica Burks' roots with the West Coast she has embraced results in a new approach that signs her personal vision on her cutting-edge sound.
