Benefit Show on Saturday, May 2nd

Jessica — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:51:38 +0000

I’ve been on a hiatus for a while, dealing with family stuff and craziness at work. That will probably continue through the summer at the very least. However, I’m breaking the hiatus for a show on Saturday, May 2nd. Back in November, St. Paul United Methodist Church in New Ellenton, SC asked me to be [...]

Time for an intimate acoustic show

Jessica — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:39:17 +0000

It’s been quite a while since I had a show that was low key and more about the music than the atmosphere. Don’t get me wrong, I love playing gigs like Joe’s Underground and 1102, but I wouldn’t consider those places to be great “listening” rooms. This Saturday, March 8th, I’m playing a show at [...]

Jessica interviewed by Lokal Loudness

Jessica — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 02:00:54 +0000

The following is an interview by Lokal Loudness, a local music alliance in Augusta, GA.

When Jessica King sings she sings from the soul. At an age when most gals are consumed with shopping and getting ready for their learners permit King was already a fixture on the Atlanta music scene. A tryout for Lilith Fair and a relocation later this singer-songwriter is belting out for Augusta music fans.

LL-For those unfamiliar with Jessica King how about a history lesson.

JK - Born in a small, farm town in southwest Georgia. Started playing piano at age 2 and got really bored with that at 12. Found a guitar at age 12 and just started playing. Began playing "professionally" at 15 and was touring the Atlanta scene before I could even drive myself to gigs. Took a detour to Hollins University for 4 years to do the college thing, and then came here to Augusta. Music is in my core and always has been. I discovered in college that computer programming was also hiding in there - handy since music doesn't pay very well.

LL-I was reading on your website about tryouts that you performed at for Lilith Fair. How did that come about?

JK - [laughs] Lots of memories with that one... I was a finalist out of about 20k submissions for the Atlanta shows. It was a really fun experience, and I ended up being selected as the runner up. There were 2 winners since there were 2 shows in Atlanta. The winners got to play at Lilith Fair and hang out backstage with all of the major artists. The runner up got some lawn tickets and a t-shirt. Nice, right? It was awesome though. I learned a lot through that experience, especially about a certain lead singer of a certain winning band.

LL-So how was that whole experience? What was the vibe like with the other performers?
