In late 2008, with no money to her name, Jesse Thomas headed for Los Angeles. Alone.

After a few open mic nights in the Valley and some raw demo recordings, she caught the attention of producer Jim Roach at Red Parade Music Group. Jim found something special in Jesse that countless others would soon come to recognize: a hilarious yet poignant personality shining through that smoky, battle scarred voice.

She released an EP Hazel back in 2010, which met with much acclaim, and now makes a welcome return with her debut long player War Dancer (out next week) from which this stunning, raw, whiskey soaked track, Fire is taken.
