Folklore presents…
Jess Hall + Rachael Sage (US) + Viva La Rose
Jess Hall grew up near the coastline of North Devon and started writing songs about the quirks of love and life just before moving to the starkly landlocked Oxford five years ago. Since that time she has established herself on the local scene with her simple stunning clarity of voice and images of coastal love and loss.
She has supported acts such as Sea of Bees as well as performing at Truck Festival and headlining the Shh Stage at Wilderness. After Jess released her debut ep ‘Red Jumper’ she was described as ‘one to watch’ on the Oxford scene by Nightshift magazine.
Her debut album was released February 24th with a special sold out launch gig 21st February at the beautiful Holywell Music Room in Oxford.

“honest lyrics and deceptively simple melodies, have audiences hanging on her every word”
The Oxford Times
“Elegantly melodic….captivatingly-voiced English singer” FRoots
“a quite frankly astonishing songstress.” Irregular Folk
