Jess Ledbetter is a distinct voice in the indie music landscape and has operated as a songwriter, performer, and multi-instrumentalist for nearly 2 decades between New York, Texas, and Arizona.
She cut her teeth on the stages of New York City fronting multiple rock bands before returning home to Texas and beginning her journey in audio recording. Her interest in recording led her to seek solace in a small town in Arizona where she recorded her first full length solo album and also became a full time entertainer aboard The Grand Canyon Railway, a passenger train to the Grand Canyon. Aboard this historic train, Ledbetter grew into a multi-genre songbird and began entertaining guests from around the world with western classics, folk, retro hits, and some originals. Upon returning once more to the lone star state she continues to work in live performance and is developing her next body of work to be recorded in 2026.
