Chanteuse
Country US née le 17 Juillet 1967, à Mount Kisko (New York).
Vocalist Jesse
Sykes is best known for her work with the alt-country ensemble Jesse Sykes & the
Sweet Hereafter. Formed from the ashes of two influential alternative country
bands, Whiskeytown and Hominy, the duo of lead singer/guitarist Jesse Sykes and
guitarist Phil Wandscher met in 1999 in Seattle's Hattie Hat bar. Sykes had just
ended a relationship with Jim Sykes (her musical partner in the band Hominy) and
had slowed her songwriting down, but a new seed was sprouted upon meeting Wandscher.
The pair began performing as a duo and received much praise, creating a slow
buzz. The group eventually added drummer Kevin Warner, bassist Bill Herzog, and
violinist Anne Marie Ruljancich. After entering the studio they recorded their
debut release, Reckless Burning, which was released under the name Jesse Sykes &
the Sweet Hereafter by Barsuk Records in April 2002. Over the next few years,
the group shared the stage with Neko Case, Richard
Buckner, and Mark Olson, among others. The group's second album, Oh, My
Girl, came out two years later. Their third effort, 2007's Like, Love, Lust and
the Open Halls of the Soul, introduced new drummer Eric Eagle, replacing Kevin
Warner. Marble Son, co-produced by Sykes and Wandscher and recorded entirely in
and around Seattle, appeared in 2011. It was also the group's first release for
their own Parisian Records, after parting ways with Barsuk. Sykes has also
collaborated with the adventurous metal bands Sunn O))) and Boris on the album Altar.
