Jessica Gerhardt is an LA-native singer-songwriter whose style ranges from intimate ukulele-driven folk to anthemic indie rock. Following after Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette, Jessica writes in the tradition of fiery femme rock artists, but with a distinct spiritual bent, inspired by Sufjan Stevens and Audrey Assad. Having grown up in a Catholic-Jewish mixed faith family, Jessica was shaped by inclusive notions of religion, and this bears out as she lays claim to her spiritual identity in her forthcoming album, “Alight Beyond the Sea,” which explores themes of grief, hope and belonging through the lens of her Catholic imagination. She is also an artist, writer and high school theology teacher. Find out more about her work at jessicagerhardt.com.
