Jessye DeSilva
Live In Concert
With Opener Lee Trueheart

More about Jessye

Boston-based singer-songwriter Jessye DeSilva has been releasing music and touring nationally since 2019, earning praise from No Depression, Rolling Stone, and The Boot. Known for blending Americana roots with expansive, genre-defying songwriting, she has shared stages with Lisa Loeb, Adeem the Artist, and Brian Dunne, performed at AmericanaFest, and collaborated with artists including Jake Blount and Butch Walker.

She infuses hope into songs about religious alienation, mental health struggles, and societal injustice to create a uniquely queer and unholy ruckus. Jessye’s 2026 album Glitter Up the Dark was produced by Aaron Lee Tasjan and incorporates Eighties pop and Nineties alternative flourishes to the stately Americana and country-rock sounds of 2023’s Renovations and her 2022 debut Landscapes, which earned her a nomination for Americana Artist of the Year at the 2022 Boston Music Awards.

No Depression says, “Comparisons to Elton John and Brandi Carlile are easy—DeSilva clearly takes a page from these idols, anchoring [her] songs in pop melody juggernauts, gauzy textures, and vocal bravado.” Nashville Scene named her a 2023 Artist to Watch, saying, “DeSilva could inject new life into a genre that could definitely use a little more pretzel logic.” To learn more about Jessye visit: jessyedmusic.com/.

More about Lee

Delaware-based Lee Trueheart is a story-driven songwriter. Influenced by artists as diverse as John Denver, Rogers & Hammerstein, The Carpenters, Jane Oliver, Bread, Janis Ian, the Beach Boys, and more, Lee uses his voice and his guitar to share his love of music.

As Lee notes, “I’ve been writing songs for more than 20 years, though I never really expected anything to come from them. I simply wrote about the things that mattered to me—love, loss, faith, relationships, identity, home, and the questions that refuse to leave us alone. Now I have tools that let me bring those songs to life in ways I never could before, and along the way I’ve discovered something I occasionally surprise myself by saying: “I’m better than I thought I was.” My music doesn’t always stay in one genre, but the thread is the same—honest, story-driven songs about being human.”

Active with the CAMP Rehoboth’s Veterans and CAMP Rehoboth H.I.M. Society groups, Lee is also the co-founder of the CAMP Rehoboth group Chroma. To learn more about Lee visit: trueheartmusic.me/.
