CRS 2020 with Missy: Jessie G
When you think of working on a farm, what comes to mind? In country music, the reference to working on a farm mostly involves tractors and a lot of hard work. For Jessie G (Goergen), working on a farm was an entirely different experience. Her farm was the Pacific Ocean.
Inspired by the stories of hard work in country music songs, Goergen found herself relating to the lyrics. Growing up in a small town in Oregon and working in the commercial fishing industry taught her the value of hard work. Still, it was her love of country music that coursed through her veins.
Goergen participated in choir and many singing competitions. In college, she studied music and worked extremely hard trying to find her voice. After landing the opportunity to open for National Recording Artist, Gretchen Wilson, Goergen’s music career took an amazing turn.
Wilson believed in Goergen’s talent and told her she would work with her if she ever found herself in Nashville. Goergen has since made the move from Oregon to Nashville and began working with Wilson. During our conversation, we spoke about what this experience has been like for her, her upcoming debut EP and her Kickstarter campaign. Watch our video now and get to know this awe-inspiring new artist.
Her debut single, “Drop A Line”, is available for preorder now and will be released on April 4, 2016. This country rock artist also has a jazz influence, which has helped her create her unique style and sound that everyone is sure to love. Connect with her on social media, send her a shout out and per-order “Drop A Line” now. ~Missy
