SUMMARY:Jessica Lea Mayfield
LOCATION:Songbyrd
DESCRIPTION:Thursday November 12th\n\nJessica Lea Mayfield w/ Rachel Bobbit
 t\n\n\\*\\*\\*\n\nWhen I was recording what would become “Miss Obliterat
 ion” with Day Wave I started to get the eerie sense that I was writing m
 ore than lyrics\, but predictive themes. I was married to my second husban
 d but could see the writing on the wall\, a metaphorical tornado was about
  to tear through my life I denied it. The record kept getting pushed back 
 for various reasons\, and I kept thinking it was getting pushed back by a 
 greater force\, now 3 years later my life is entirely different and I am r
 adically changed as a person. From my spiritual beliefs\, to my person goa
 ls and dreams and just in general\, nearly everything. I had a feeling thi
 s album wouldn’t see light until that chapter of my life complete.\n\n\\
 *\\*\\*\n\n“The ocean does not care about you at all\,” declares Rache
 l Bobbitt. “That’s what makes something truly awesome—it could and w
 ill exist\, with or without you.”\n\nThe ocean looms\, uncaring yet vita
 l\, conceptually and actually on Bobbitt’s debut full-length LP\, Swimmi
 ng Towards the Sand. Raised in the windswept Annapolis Valley of Nova Scot
 ia\, Bobbitt roots herself in the memories and milestones of home more tha
 n a decade after her voice first found an audience through the lens of int
 ernet virality. Growing up in a musical household\, where her mom’s side
  hosted kitchen fiddle parties\, Bobbitt was surrounded by music from the 
 beginning. At just 16 years old\, she’d amassed a large Vine following\,
  performing covers and originals to an audience of 400\,000 strong\, leadi
 ng to Shorty Award nominations and being crowned by Buzzfeed as one of “
 13 Amazing Singers You Should Follow On Vine.” She now looks back at tha
 t time with nuance\, feeling both reinforced in her abilities by the respo
 nse and\, at the same time\, overwhelmed by the onslaught of opinions—op
 inions on her career\, appearance\, voice\, image—at an age when she was
  still figuring out what those things meant for herself.\n\nA dozen years 
 later\, after studying Jazz and Vocal Pedagogy at the renowned Humber Coll
 ege\, learning the rules of the road\, and navigating the music industry f
 rom her home base in Toronto\, Bobbitt arrives at Swimming Towards the San
 d with an unwavering sense of purpose. It’s an album that revisits her r
 oots with the clarity of perspective\, the wisdom of experience\, and the 
 lessons of resilience that can only come with time. It looks back with an 
 eye both clear and nostalgic and reflects her memories via sharply contemp
 orary music.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/mxg9ew-jessica-lea-mayfield
