Jess Royer and Friends: A Night of Soul
Stop by 1020 Collective on Wednesday, October 13th, 6pm-9pm for An Evening of Soul with Jess Royer, Lexi Weege and JJ Slater.
Jess Royer offers a cathartic experience for listeners through soulful and deeply expressive vocals as well as heart-wrenching, powerful lyrics. Jess was inspired by early blues and jazz, and you can feel the soul of these influences in her rich and raspy tone. Jess has used her passion for love and life to share her heart through songwriting. She encourages people to really, TRULY, feel.
Western MA-based JJ Slater has songs for every season, and is ready to bring them to life. He has played jazz, folk, psych rock, and soul music around the Northeast and beyond for the past decade, and his newest body of work distills these influences into a mellow, funky stew. His new EP “An Obscure Moon” introduces this sound, and new music on the horizon will paint the full picture.
Lexi Weege is a true vocal acrobat, leaping from dangerous, sultry growl to playful lilting in a single bound. You would be hard-pressed to find as transfixing a storyteller. Unapologetic, brazen, and boldfaced, Weege’s mastery of narrative is as thrilling as it is wrenching. Crafting original songs with a retro feel and performing classics with a bee twist, a Weege show is not to be missed.
$10, BYOB. Light food and refreshments will be provided by donation.
