In this episode of Outside The Circle, Brian and Ronnie sit down with Jess Jocoy, a rising Americana artist whose poetic songwriting paints vivid pictures of love, loss, and life on the open road.

Jess talks about growing up in Puyallup, Washington, where her musical world was shaped by the mix of her parents’ influences — her father’s love of classic country icons like Alan Jackson and Conway Twitty, and her mother’s taste for powerful female voices like Shania Twain. That early contrast helped her develop a unique sound that fuses roots-driven storytelling with modern-day emotional depth.

The conversation dives into her move to Nashville, the creative challenges of balancing art and industry, and the stories behind her newest music. With sincerity and insight, Jess shares how the beauty of the Pacific Northwest still finds its way into her lyrics — bringing a sense of place and purpose to every song she writes.

From her humble beginnings to her current artistic rise, this episode is a celebration of authenticity, persistence, and the love of a good story told through song.
