Description

Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravelly voice that many don?t expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK and has shared stages with many well known names among the folk/punk scene.
Jess released her debut album, Break the Bottle, in May 2018 with a packed out show at her spiritual home of Katie Fitzgerald?s in Stourbridge. Since then she?s shared a number of other releases including two live EP?s with tracks taken from shows at Katie?s and HMV Merry Hill. 2020 saw the world shut down and Jess release two (almost completely) self produced EP?s, the first of which, If We?re Damned, was put together from songs that had been gathering metaphorical dust on her harddrive, and the second, There?s A Bar At the End Of the World, a collection of songs written between March and August taking their inspiration from the events of the year.
Jess continues to tour around the UK and at the end of August 2021 released her second full-length album Blitz Spirit.
