GOOD EVANS!
I think I'm still in a bit of shock right now!
Along with being completely career focused, I've always hoped to have a
"somewhat" traditional life and be married. For many years that
didn't seem to be possible. Now here I am, engaged to the love of my life and
about to release an album that feels like the strongest body of work we have
ever released. Through all of its ups and downs, life is turning out pretty
well for this girl!
Jess and the Bandits lead singer Jess Clemmons
has announced her engagement after a whirlwind
romance with Leesburg, Georgia native and Fredericksburg, Texas based
photographer Chris Peavey (website).
Having established herself a solo artist, Jess broke into the mainstream consciousness when BBC Radio 2 championed her single “Single Tonight” in January 2014. The legendary Sir Terry Wogan was blown away by her vocal and invited her to join him in the studio, where her cover of Sir Glen Campbell’s Wichita Lineman prompted him to state ‘that was the most fabulous song that I’ve ever heard’. She has received great support from Radio 2, also finding fans in Bob Harris and Gaby Roslin over the years.
The summer of 2015 saw Jess announced as the ambassador of British plus size fashion chain Evans. Following in the footsteps on Chaka Khan and Beth Ditto, Jessica fronted the #StyleHasNoSize campaign, recording a music video for her single ‘Nitty Gritty’ with the brand and winners of a competition to feature in the clip. She was the very first country artist to figure-head a high-street chain in the UK.

Her appearance on Songs of Praise in 2016 showed her spiritual side, while a deluxe release of the band’s debut album Here We Go Again once again entered the UK Official Country Charts Top 20 and saw support from Spotify, who have repeatedly playlisted her music.Coming to the blog soon!
