"If the music business were poker, singer-songwriter Jessica Sonner would be holding a straight flush. Her sound is a polished, accessible blend of pop, country and blues influences, and she's blessed with a powerful, sultry voice that helps elevate her songs." - Cory Casciato, Westword - Denver, CO

Jessica Sonner (www.myspace.com/jessicasonner) is another newcomer to the scene — new to the scene, but not new to Colorado. Raised in Denver, she earned a degree in music in Indiana, then headed to Chicago and did some modeling before kick-starting her music career. After releasing her first disc (which was lauded by the Chi-town press), she moved back to Denver and has now taken her home town by storm. I checked out Sonner at the behest of my friend Suzanne, who gave me the hard sell. It's not hard to see why Sonner's already been embraced by Angie Stevens and landed an opening slot for Colbie Caillat next week. With a sultry voice somewhere between Caillat and Ingrid Michaelson, Sonner looks like a lock for Denver's next big mainstream breakout. Unfortunately, if you don't catch her at the Fillmore next Tuesday, February 12, you'll only have one other chance — on Friday, February 22, at the Oriental. Because after that, Sonner will on the road until at least May. Dave Herrera - Westword - Denver, CO (Feb 7, 2008)

Adjusting the lamps in the parlor to suit her mellow sound and finally achieving the right ambiance, Jessica picks up her guitar and settles onto the stool provided for her. Her voice and manner add to the already intimate atmosphere as if she is talking to friends. With a down-to-earth manner and music so soulful with a girly edge, she alternates between self-disclosure and her own music through out the night. The lyrics to all of her songs are genuine and reflect a part of herself... "It's all worth it for me when people take something away from what they hear in my music," replied singer/songwriter, Jessica Sonner, during a recent interview. Living between the snowcapped mountains of Colorado the big city of Chicago home these days, Sonner released her self titled ep in December 2005, featuring fan favorites Rescue Me, Fool, and Open Your Eyes. She has since established herself as an emerging solo artist with a bright future ahead. For the past 3 years, Sonner has been continually singing her heart out all over the country for anyone who will listen. Wooing audiences with her compelling lyrics and soulful voice, she is quickly capturing the hearts of both fan and industry alike. With a new album due out March 2008, Sonner has been caught sharing the spotlight with artists such as Colbie Caillat, Sara Bareilles, Third Eye Blind, Tristan Prettyman, and many more. Armed with a loyal fanbase, a solid acoustic sound, and a sultry unforgettable voice, Jessica Sonner is making her way to an iPod near you.
