JESSIE REID

The young Shropshire artist’s raw and intimate indie-folk has already racked up over 10 million streams, support from the likes of Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson & Emily Pilbeam on BBC 6 Music, regular spins on BBC Radio Ulster & BBC Radio Wales, a regional BBC Introducing Artist of the Year accolade, and a breakfast show Single of the Day on LA tastemaker Nic Harcourt’s SoCal 88.5FM.
A songwriter wise beyond her years, Jessie’s understated vocals and innovative percussive guitar style have drawn praise from tastemaker press and comparisons with the likes of Iron & Wine, Lucy Rose, Memorial & Ben Howard, with tracks enjoying wide editorial support at Spotify, including the coveted The Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist.
She played GTSF in 2021, so it's been a few years leading up to 2024’s Glastonbury and Camp Bestival debuts. She then enjoyed a great 2025 festival season with acclaimed sets at Fuse Fest, Kendal Calling, Green Man, Found Festival, Between The Trees and Moseley Folk.
Her second album 'Little Sparks' was released on 6th February this year, about which she says “These songs stress the importance of noticing the small things that give us meaning, even when life feels heavy. Some are soft and personal, others wrestle with darker feelings, and some are about struggle, but also about staying strong and holding on. It feels honest, and I hope these songs can be little sparks for anyone who needs them.”
