Jess Wayne had it all… then decided to give it all away, walk away, and experience freedom.

I’ve played music and written poetry all my life but I did not recognize it as my heart’s desire. I had lived so long with my true self buried that I was like the little fish that upon hearing that the Ocean was all around him, blurts out ‘This? This is just water!’ Well, I’m grateful for the water now, and it’s a wild ride.”

Forming the Jess Wayne Band in Los Angeles in 2015, an A-list of excellent musicians came together to help Jess create the smooth jams that make up Ride The River.

Wayne’s music is as elegantly twisted and complicatedly simple as the life we live.

Telling stories with a naked honesty over jazzy, rock-infused, Americana sound beds, Jess Wayne’s music speaks to those who have lived, who have tasted the complex simplicities of human existence, and who like their music with a refreshingly classic vibe.

Jess Wayne‘s music is well-seasoned, fine like aged wine, and as tasty as grandma’s jam.

Ride The River was released in June and is streaming on Soundcloud.
