Artist Information

Biography

If Aimee Man had a three-way with Lily Allen and Adele, you would have Indie-Pop-Acoustic singer, guitarist and piano jammer, Jess Furman.

With music featured at Sundance Film Festival, Tribecca Film Festival, SXSW and on networks such as Bravo, Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva, MTV, Comedy Central and Sesame Street...Jess Furman has a dynamic stage performance that vocally grabs you and pulls you in with sweet hooks and smart lyrics.


Jess Furman has been gigging since 14 years old - winning a battle of the bands at college on only an acoustic guitar – with her signature style of fast-paced lyrics delivered with a tinge of jazzy overtones, accompanied by percussive guitar riffs and an energetic act that had the crowd requesting encore after encore. The event organizer was so taken with her act that he volunteered to manage her pro bono.

Currently, Jess (who is bi-coastal) can be found gigging nationally, and is a regular at such famous LA/NY clubs as The Hotel Cafe, Room5, Ghenghis Cohen, The Witzend, Harvelles (LA) and The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, Kenny’s Castaways, Rockwood Music Hall, Arlene’s Grocery (NYC) and many more.

Her most current Take Me Back EP (2012): (www.jessfurman.bandcamp.com) features the tracks "Get Back up" which is the current TV Series Theme for Lifetime's "Life's a Trip."
