Hailed by Pitchfork as one of the “most exciting and skillful storytellers” working today, Jaime Wyatt is the kind of generational talent whose raw, honest lyricism is matched only by the power of her huge, unmistakable voice. Wyatt first began turning heads with her breakout 2017 debut, Felony Blues, which chronicled her now much-publicized battle with addiction and her transformative journey through the criminal justice system. Wyatt’s 2020 follow-up, Neon Cross, tackled even more profoundly personal revelations. Both records arrived to universal acclaim, with NPR praising Wyatt’s “remarkable voice” and Rolling Stone lauding her “lush, layered, and complex” performances.
Wyatt continues to scale new heights with music that is bold and ecstatic, built on tight, intoxicating grooves that belie her songs’ substantial emotional stakes. Wyatt’s writing is unguarded and intuitive, tapping into the deep recesses of her subconscious as she reckons with grief and growth, and her delivery is visceral to match, cutting straight to the bone with equal parts sensitivity and swagger. Jaime Wyatt pushes limits, a genre-defying artist who draws as much from Al Green and Otis Redding as she does from Waylon Jennings and Bobbie Gentry.
“I wanted to make music you could move to,” Wyatt explains, “but I still wanted it to have heart and integrity.”
Jaime Wyatt will perform with her sizzling hot four-piece band.
“Jaime Wyatt’s tremendous voice has always been her biggest asset and she can sell raw, ragged, soulful firepower against a mix that swells with rich and prominent basslines indebted to funk, guitars that span warmer country to snarled acid rock fuzz, both organ and saloon piano, pedal steel, and some of the most textured percussion you’ll hear near a country release this year.” – Album of the Year
