Jessica McKim

An acoustic singer/songwriter who plays covers and originals with witty banter in between songs. I'm very polite and enjoy conversing with fans and staff and developing positive relationships with everyone i meet.

Jessica McKim has been writing songs most of her life. She was always singing stream-of-consciousness songs growing up and in 4th grade set down and wrote her first "real song." She spent most of her time in high school day dreaming in class and writing lyrics to melodies that were in her head. In 2007, she moved to Ada, OK to get to know her biological father. There she learned that music ran in the family. Her father is a fairly famous musician around south eastern Oklahoma, who had given up on his love and passion until she came around. They started playing and singing around bonfires at their house. In 2011 she started playing some of her orginal songs at a local bar called the Statesman Lounge thanks to the encouragement of other local musicians. In 2012 she teamed up with her friend Savannah Lowe to form the band LoveLady Road and together they opened for several different bands including FastLane South, Willie Stradlin Band, and Jason Stringfellow. Before long they were playing almost every Wednesday night at the Statesman Lounge where they developed a strong following. In October of 2012 they split up to pursue different musical avenues. Jessica has been playing and writing with several artist from all over Oklahoma. Playing her first solo artist show with her new sound, at The Gypsy Coffeehouse in Tulsa, Ok in January 2013. Though she has a quiet demeanor off stage you should expect great things from this talented up and coming songwriter. She is set to go into the studio in 2015 to record her first EP that is set to be released early fall of 2015. Check out some demos and quick recordings on soundcloud : JessicaMcKim.

I have two guitars and a ukulele that i use during my set. I provide my own cables and mic, mic stand. I can provide a small PA if needed, but if there is one at the venue already that is great. My stage set up is very simple.
