Jess Godwin July 15, 2011

Singer/songwriter misfit with soul Jess Godwin is a bit of a conundrum. Dubbed "the voice of a songbird" (Chicago Tribune) with "powerhouse vocals and killer legs" (Chicago Sun-Times), her quirky demeanor and understated sense of humor is nothing short of refreshing in a sea of spit-and-polish artists. Godwin's live performances tend to be emotional events characterized by honest and impassioned delivery. The band brings the stories to life, but all she really needs is a mic and a piano to take the whole room.
