http://virb.com/jessirobertson PRESS "Robertson expertly mixes an alt-country vocal style with electronic drumbeats, possessing a voice that commands attention from the first note. Her tone is captivating whether floating in a whispered reverie or letting loose over unconventional lyrics and acrobatic melodies." Beth Walker, Performing Songwriter Magazine (December, 2008) "Imagine a withering roar that's all at once strong, vulnerable, and beautiful. Jessi is a unique power-pop artist that delivers poetic insightful lyrics in catchy songs full of drama and life." - Artist Loft Series, Tainted Blue Studios (September, 2008) "This New York singer-songwriter draws comparisons to equally spirited alt-folk muses Tori Amos and PJ Harvey. But with her quavering, spiritual verses, the analogy she deserves is with Jeff Buckley, gender difference or no." - Editor's Review, Download.com "Jessi Robertson demonstrates the qualities in a singer that prove themselves time and time again. The qualities are of a soothing, soulful, graceful, honest, and emotive style. You will never want to stop listening to Jessi Robertson's story." - Paul Richmond, Zest Radio Show (Oct 05, 2008) BIOGRAPHY Since moving to Brooklyn in 2003, Jessi has played all over the city at venues including The Bitter End, CBGB's 313 Gallery and Lounge, Pianos, Rockwood Music Hall, The American Folk Art Museum , and Public Assembly. Whether with a band or solo, Jessi captivates her audience with the raw honesty of her voice, and her passion to communicate. Jessi has also been deeply involved in the local music scene as a co-founder of Local Correspondents (www.localcorrespondents.com), curator for September Concert (http://septemberconcert.org), and founder of "NY Sirens" (http://www.myspace.com/nysirens). ]]> Virb 2.0 (@jessirobertson) en http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6076435 http://www.reverbnation.com/c./poni/6684971]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:15:48 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6076435 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6062453 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:25:13 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6062453 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6062452 http://bit.ly/JessiPledge]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:25:13 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6062452 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6036240 http://bit.ly/JessiPledge]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:08:41 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6036240 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6001932 http://bit.ly/10n1Wd]]> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:42:04 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/6001932 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5932548 http://ping.fm/Io5UH Just 2 weeks left to pre-order a CD!]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:16:23 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5932548 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5918402 http://iLike.com/c/CAN]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:34:38 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5918402 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5908826 http://ping.fm/AyWSy]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:08:44 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5908826 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5908825 http://iLike.com/t/KL4w]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:08:43 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5908825 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5890747 http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/47]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:55:06 -0800 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5890747 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5857451 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:56:26 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5857451 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5857450 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:56:26 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5857450 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5834998 http://iLike.com/t/Jtta]]> Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:35:14 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5834998 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5830837 http://ping.fm/XbYZk]]> Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:44:39 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5830837 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5817491 http://iLike.com/c/CAN]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:59:55 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5817491 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5804764 http://ping.fm/QYDnH Please Pledge!]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:26:06 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5804764 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5785905 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:57:16 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5785905 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5765055 http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/47]]> Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:01:00 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5765055 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5744456 http://ping.fm/zkgFj before it turned into Slut-O-Ween.]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:24:54 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5744456 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5687479 http://blip.fm/~fa5gs]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:40:07 -0700 http://virb.com/jessirobertson/posts/status/5687479
