Sustaining a country music tradition, Jessica is joined on stage by her family, with her dad on bass, mom on background vocals, and husband on lead guitar. Her high-energy and dynamic performances have garnered rave reviews from critics worldwide.

In addition to her success as an award-winning international performer, Jessica’s star has shined brightly not only on the musical stage, but also on the world stage, helping to illuminate many humanitarian causes. As an advocate for our military, the arts, animals, and as a mentor for young women and children worldwide, Jessica was invited to The United Nations this year for Women’s Entrepreneurship Day and also had the honor of singing her country’s National Anthem twice in New York’s famed Madison Square Garden as well as on national television for NASCAR. In both 2020 and 2021, Jessica was chosen out of hundreds of bands across the United States by The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to be an elite member of American Music Abroad, which will have her traveling to countries across the globe as an ambassador for the USA, bringing American music and culture.

Penning songs with many of Nashville’s top hit writers, her last two singles “Crazy Idea,” and “Let’s Don’t” climbed the charts. "Crazy Idea" broke the Top 50, and “Let’s Don’t” peaked in the Top 40 on American Country Radio in 2018. She is currently in the studio recording a collection of brand-new songs which will be released throughout the next year off her debut album “Lone Rider.” The new music, tinged with hints of the blues, soulful rhythms and her deepest lyrics to date will be ushered in with the lead-off single, “Run To,” which was released on April 24, 2020.

On release day, "Run To" charted on the iTunes Country Chart in the Top 10 in both Italy and Austria and in the Top 100 in The United Kingdom. Since then, Jessica has accumulated a total of 15 charting releases on iTunes in 17 different countries within the last few years.

In this acoustic storytelling performance, Jessica shares her life and memories, putting a twist on some of her most popular hits as well as featuring a host of new music written specifically for this special program. In the wake of Covid-19 and in addition to this show, the network asked Jessica to film a living room concert special titled, "At Home with Jessica Lynn" that began airing nationwide on Public Television in the fall of 2020. In addition, due to the pandemic and Jessica turning all of her "touring" online, her concerts have charted every single week on Pollstar's livestream chart and landed her a Top 40 spot in their Top 100 list of Livestreamers of 2020 as well as a spot in the Top 25 Livestreamers of 2021.

We had a great conversation with Zoee on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about many things from family, music, sacrifices, she told some great stories including one about Rod Stewart plus a whole lot more!!!

Raised in a family of musicians, music was Zoee's first language. The award-winning crossover pop-country Australian native - with her distinctive vocals and honest, emotional lyrics - is a star about to go Supernova.

Most recently, Zoee won "Song of the Year" 2021 at the Women of Country Awards and "Best Folk Band/Duo/Group of the Year" and "Best Group of the Year" at the FPCM Awards 2020.

Zoee recently moved to Nashville in 2022 and is currently collaborating with Grammy nominated and winning songwriters, including James House, Jeff Cohen, Steve Dorff and Kyle Jacobs to name a few.

Critics are saying of Zoee's latest release "...'It Ain’t Love' gives us an overall look at the signatures that Zoee brings to the table with very solid lyrics, a vocal ability that sees her utilizing the entire range of her voice to hit the emotional highs and lows, and a sound that throws it back to the powerhouse vocal era of 90’s country, but she perfectly stays steeped in the here and now." - Jeffery Kurtis (Today's Country)
