Introduction	"A voice that commands attention from the first line." -Performing Songwriter Magazine. Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Jessi Robertson grew up in a tiny upstate New York town of under 1,000 people, but eventually moved to the big city and carved out a place for herself. Her first full band studio album, "Small Town Girls," to be released in February 2011, follows that journey. Musically, Jessi lives on the divide between gutsy indie rockers such as PJ Harvey and gritty Americana artists like Lucinda Williams. Embracing this duality, her performances can feel as intimate as a conversation, or as deep and dark as an ocean. RIYL: PJ Harvey, Tom Waits, Mazzy Star, Ryan Adams, Fiona Apple
