Help Jess Meuse Get a Spot On VH1

   Fiat is doing a contest called Band Prix on their website in order to find the best bands in five different genres. As a fan of singer / songwriter Jess Meuse I had to at least step in and throw her my endorsement. The top winner will get to be on VH1's Top 20 Video Countdown on December 14th. You can vote for her by downloading a free track at this link: Fiat Contest . No sign up is require. You just have to hit the download button by her name. Quick and easy.

  Jess has a very unique voice and style that is somewhere between country and rock. It's a fusion of the best of both genres. I heard her voice for the first time when I was recommended  her video cover of Death Cab For Cuties "I'll Follow You Into The Dark" by Tara Lightfoot, lead vocalist and guitarist of A Brilliant Lie. I was blown away the first time I watched it. You can catch the video for yourself below and come to your own conclusion: (Article continues below video)

Artist Spotlight - Jess Meuse

      The first time Jess Meuse sang on stage she was ten years old. Music has been her ambition and dream ever since. She was born in Round Rock, Texas in October of 1990 and moved to Slapout, Alabma at the age of seven. Playing shows anywhere and everywhere she gets a chance to, Jess is an artist with the focus and work ethic to make a huge splash in the music industry.

    Her influences and sound are made up of several different genres. You can realistically classify her as a hybrid of rock and country combined, making her accessible to a wide audience. Her voice has an amazing tone to it that takes the best qualities from artists like Jewel and LeAnne Rimes and combines them with an edgier rock style. You can find video updates on her Youtube channel where she frequently does cover songs and original material as she writes it.

    I recently featured her Death Cab For Cutie cover on our Under The Covers Section. Make sure to check out one of her newer originals, "Blue-Eyed Lie", below and connect with Jess on Facebook to keep updated with her show schedule and future releases. Jess is an artist with incredible talent and drive and i'm excited to see what the future holds for her.
