Jessica Rhaye

Jessica Rhaye is a breezy folk-rock songwriter from Canada’s East Coast, blending warm, rootsy vocals with storytelling that feels both personal and relatable. Hailing from New Brunswick, she’s built a reputation for crafting earthy, melodic tunes that nod to Americana traditions while carving out her own cozy corner of the Canadian music scene. Her 2022 Dylan tribute album, *Just Like a Woman: Songs of Bob Dylan* (which includes her haunting take on “Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands”), showcases her knack for reimagining classics with smoky, intimate flair, while originals like “Sunshine Baby” and “Oh Let’s Go” highlight her knack for sunlit hooks and road-trip-ready rhythms. A fixture in Maritime folk festivals and cozy venues, Rhaye keeps her sound grounded in organic instrumentation and lyrical sincerity, often collaborating with local musicians to keep that East Coast community vibe alive in her work.
