Jessi Robertson

Jessi Robertson is a singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. Jessi Robertson has an hauntingly and captivating voice. Her last record "Small Town Girl" was released in march 2011. You can buy all her songs on bandcamp, itunes and amazon.


"Musically, Jessi lives on the divide between gutsy indie rockers such as PJ Harvey and gritty Americana artists like Lucinda Williams. Embracing this duality, her performances can feel as intimate as a conversation, or as deep and dark as an ocean, and Jessi refuses to shy away from difficult subjects. The songs on "Small Town Girls" address domestic violence, mental illness and alienation, and yet are unflinchingly hopeful, too, shedding light into Jessi's own darkest corners."

Nathan Reich

Nathan Reich is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from SF Bay Area and now based in Brooklyn, NY.


"The initial undeniable impression: this is some serious songwriting. While some tunes are sung over solo acoustic guitar, others feature Alexandra Spalding’s graceful cello and vocal harmonies, and a handful have rolling tom drums, electric guitar murmurs, and textures you can’t quite place your finger on...the lyricism follows suit: literary but straightforward, playful but honest. Themes of alcoholism, loneliness, and the daunting ambition of exploring the world, without and within, pump the majority of the blood through Arms Around a Ghost." - The Groove
