Jess Porter is a singer/songwriter based in Chicago. Her songs are a blend of pop, rock, blues and soul with hints of Americana - all major influences in her musical life. Every song tells a story about the people and places she's known, each a musical portrait revealing deeply personal imagery that takes the listener on her journey of joy and struggle, life and love. 

Jess's debut album, Daydreamer, is available here and on BandCamp. 

Check this page for upcoming shows when Jess embarks upon her first tour this coming year with the Donna Matrix Band and Angie Star. 

The songs themselves, especially “When I Come Home,” and “If You Love Me” are not exactly predictable—there’s a sense when listening to Porter’s tracks that the song will go a certain way, but just when you’re thinking you know where the song is headed, Porter takes you in an unexpected direction and somehow it all works beautifully.
