Ep 41: Jessi Alexander Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

No matter what age you are or where you’re from, chances are, you’ve heard a Jessi Alexander song.

But what you might not know is Jessi’s story of perseverance, how she played the Grand Ole Opry on Day 3 of living in Nashville, and how redefining what success meant to her led her from lost artist to hit songwriter over 10 years ago. Listen on for her chat with Chris - plus, don’t forget to check our socials for the video of Jessi’s exclusive performance of her song “Damn Country Music” (written by Carly Barlowe, Josh Thompson and Jessi) off her brand new record.
