Jessie Baylin’s highly anticipated major label debut, Firesight, will be released June 24 on Verve Forecast. Already receiving critical acclaim, Rolling Stone calls Firesight an album “…that shall blow your mind this spring, ” while Performing Songwriter describes Baylin as “…warm and approachable, her voice lovely and the songs engaging…” and affirms she is “…definitely an artist to watch.

Recorded at Hap Town Studio in Nashville, the 12 tracks on Firesight build and expand on material featured in Baylin’s first full-length album, You. The new album also continues Baylin’s collaborative efforts with Grammy-winning songwriter Jesse Harris (Norah Jones) and features co-writing contributions from Mike Daly (Whiskeytown), Mark Goldenberg, Greg Wells and Danny Wilde (Rembrandts). The album was produced and engineered by Roger Moutenot
(Yo La Tengo, Rogue Wave) and includes guest appearances by fellow Hotel Café alumni Cary Brothers and Brett Dennen, drummer Brad Pemberton (Ryan Adams), guitarist Joe Pisapia (Guster), and brothers Ned and David Henry (Josh Rouse, Cowboy Junkies), among many others.

Earlier this year, Baylin was featured on the forth-annual Hotel Café Tour sharing the bill with artists such as Ingrid Michaelson, Cary Brothers and Greg Laswell. Currently she is on tour with British musician Newton Faulkner and will continue to perform this spring with a series of shows supporting acclaimed singer-songwriter Teitur. On June 14, Baylin will join the all-star line-up at the seventh annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, TN. More tour dates to come.
