Information/Bio:
Jessica Paige started out busking on the streets of Melbourne and has since won many awards for her beautiful and moving songs. In 2004 she was awarde the Songwriter award by APRA in the national Musicoz competitiong. 2006 followed with a JB Seed Award from John Butler to recognise her as an outstanding emerging artist and this enabled her to tour with her band of Paige Boys from Melbourne to Brisbane and back in support of her EP release.
In 2008 Jessica was invited by APRA to perform her songs at the national S3 Song Summit in Sydney.
Jessica is performing in solo, duo (with her brother Josh Romig) and band modes (as 5 piece band "Jess & the Paige Boys"). Her songs are folky, contemporary, poetic, poignant and mostly ballads. However when performing with the band there is a set of originals with more uptempo grooves.
Jessica performs over 100 gigs a year and has been running a Jess & Friends Jam night at The Spleen Bar (41 Bourke Street, Melbourne) for 18 months and enjoys meeting and hearing new musos.
She is always busy with several projects on the go, including co-writing and recording with several excellent songwriters, writing commissions, demoing and recording her own material, and session vocal work.
In the last year Jessica has played in Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra and will play at South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula Folk festival soon. She supported Xavier Rudd and Mark Seymour at recent festivals.
Her next Folk Club gig is at the lovely Burrinja Folk Club (Upwey, Melbourne) both with her band and as a duo on 26th September.
