Singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Tessa Rose Jackson describes her sound as a “more accessible Feist and a slightly poppier Fleet Foxes, with a nod to Ray Lamontagne and a bit of Edward Sharpe.” At only 20 years old, she has already made quite a name for herself in the Netherlands, playing sold-out shows in Amsterdam, taking over the Dutch airwaves, and performing live on late-night TV. Influenced both by the music she grew up on (The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys) and by her time at the BRIT School in London (home to fellow artists Adele & Kate Nash), Tessa Rose’s new album, (Songs From) The Sandbox, is now available via iTunes.
Album opener “Stepping Stone” is an instantly captivating track with a toe-tapping rhythm and light, airy vocals. For a taste of Tessa Rose’s sweet, lulling sound, you can download the “Stepping Stone” MP3 where it premiered with American Songwriter.
