With the Fibbers, Jessy recorded two critically acclaimed albums for Virgin Records, 1995's 'Lost Somewhere Between the Earth and My Home' and 1997's 'Butch'. In 1997, Jessy relocated to Minneapolis, joining forces with THE JAYHAWKS and performing on their album 'Sound of Lies' and the tour that followed.

Finally out in front and performing her own material, Jessy make the transition from supporting cast to frontwoman look easy. During the last year Jessy has been a busy girl. With the help of Tom Merkl of IFFY, she recorded her first album, 'BLUE SKY,' all on computer. She also found time to lend her violin skills to an impressive list of artists including WILCO once again for their first single, 'Jesus, etc.' off of their blockbuster album 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.'
