Jess Bush 

Born into a musical family, Jess Bush took her first piano lesson at the age of seven and was instantly hooked. Inspired by the musical open heart surgery of legends like Carole King, Elton John, Al Green, and Brandi Carlile, her soulful vocals, raw, honest lyrics, and bluesy piano composition result in an unmistakably earnest Americana sound. In May of 2023, Jess was awarded "Best Overall" at the Songwriters at Play songwriting competition. This landed her a session at Joel Jacks Studios in Santa Ynez, CA, where she has since recorded numerous singles in the same room that has captured the music of icons like David Crosby, Olivia Newton John, Michael McDonald, and more. In addition to her solo project, Jess has provided keys, synth, and/or vocals for other artists including Jacob Cole, Wryn, Nautical Thrust, Tod Weidner, Dan Sadin, Nicole Sophia, Wild Coast, Bradberri, The Brave Kind, Maliah, and more. @JessBushMusic

Medicine Hat 

Ventura based rock band Medicine Hat has a new single "Blue" recently released that offers a captivating blend of surfy guitars and dreamy melodies, creating an emotive atmosphere. Recorded at Castaway 7 studios in Ventura, CA, the track captures the essence of shifting emotions and weather patterns, invoking a sense of nostalgia and introspection. With its lush, soul-haunting guitar work and melodious harmonies, Blue draws comparisons to the wistful noir americana of New West Motel-era The Walkabouts. @MedicineHat_The Band
