Since 2019, Jessica Vines has been releasing music that connects heart and soul to the body through catchy melodies, a timeless voice and contagious groove. Once again, she ties those together with A Very Good Story, her fourth studio project. Exploring personal events from her past, Jessica Vines bridges the emotions felt to the lessons learned from experiences of heart break, self discovery and triumph in a relatable, yet unique voice. She sets the mood with a nostalgic tone that feels timeless, yet current. In this project, she uses new sounds and textures to bring a deeper level of vulnerability than ever before and brings the message even clearer.

Starting with the title track, Vines sets up the EP with a short introduction to explain the overarching message before traveling head first into the tumultuous nature of human relationships and the array of emotions, decisions and consequences that come along with them. With the talents of co-producer and co-writer Evan Geiger, Vines found the process of writing this project cathartic and continues to use the song as a reminder of strength from struggle, which she hopes all listeners will also take with them once listening through.

You can find Jessica Vines performing in the Los Angeles area, where she currently resides, and all over the Midwest, where she started her career back in 2017 and frequents for shows and festivals. Catch her at a show to hear the songs in their most engaging and interactive form.

The now LA-based singer/songwriter cut her teeth in the Phoenix music scene throughout her teenage years. She lent her powerhouse vocals to several notable projects, which led to The Arizona Republic stating: “Taylor Sackson can wail with the best of them.”

In 2021, she made the move to Los Angeles to pursue music full-time. “I’ve played shows to two people and I’ve played shows to 60,000,” Sackson explains. “I’ve learned to realize that music and performing are the root of who I am. It’s not just a thing I prefer to do in my full time, it’s how I function.”

Lyrically, she brings a young, modern perspective to classic songwriting tropes—friendship, love, loss.
Her ability to deliver vulnerable lyrics with a sense of innate confidence is on full display in her debut single, “Inertia”, where she sings: “I wake up in a puddle/I wring myself out/I sing to the radio/At least it listens to me.”

Throughout 2022 Sackson has performed at several notable events and venues—including Hotel Cafe’s Writers Block, Troubadour, and WFNM—and has been busy recording her debut album in LA.

Based in Minneapolis, Oak and the Woods is a group of friends and fun lovers alike. Rooted in the Motown records of the 60s and the Funky sounds of the 70s their sound is that of high energy and low stress. With this band the destination is a good time and the vehicle is funk.
