Jess Ledbetter is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist originally from Arlington, Texas. She is known for her colorful voice, expansive vocal range, and clever lyricism. Her songwriting began at the age of 11 with an innate interest in art, music, and fashion. She has worn many hats working as an elementary art teacher, vintage retail dealer, boxing coach, personal fitness trainer, and cocktail waitress, until she was swept onto the rails of The Grand Canyon Railway, a passenger train that travels 62 miles from Williams, Arizona to the Grand Canyon. It was here that she cut her teeth working as a full time musician, entertaining the guests of the railway with western classics and her own folk originals. After 4 years singing in the train cars for an array of international visitors, Ledbetter relocated back home to Texas and began reintegrating into the music scene in Austin. For nearly 2 decades she has remained a staple in the indie music landscape, playing bass, guitar, and drums for numerous indie rock projects. Nowadays she can be found all around Texas Hill Country singing in wineries, breweries, cafes, honky tonks, rock clubs, and just about anywhere you can imagine. Ledbetter has a remarkable ability to shift between genres with her band The Vision. Her solo set leans into folk storytelling and melody whilst The Vision pushes into the world of experimental rock & roll.
