Jessica Allestad
Jess Allestad is a strong willed, passionate, horse-loving singer-songwriter who grew up in Stillwater County, Montana.
Jess is taking an unconventional approach to country music that doesn’t revolve around booze, bars, and breakups. Instead, her songs carry messages of hope, healing, and redemption. She doesn’t shy away from addressing struggles like PTSD, depression, and divorce in ways that open the door for discussion and connection. Her intention is not only to encourage awareness of difficult topics, but also to deliver hope and healing from hardship.
Feeling heard, seen, and understood is what fuels Jess in her performances and her songwriting – not just for herself, but to give her listeners the same rejuvenating experience.
Jessica will be performing at this event.
