Jessica Caylyn to Tour Clubs in the Bay Area & Central Valley, Nov. & Dec.

Fresh off her third songwriting and performing stint in Nashville this year, Antioch native Jessica Caylyn returns to California and begins a fall and winter tour of Bay Area and Central Valley venues. Caylyn shows wisdom beyond her years, commanding the stage with her soulful brand of music that boldly walks the line of rock and country, full of clever lyrics and playful pop-rock hooks.

Caylyn's vocal style has been described as "soulful like Adele with the country storytelling and wide range of Martina McBride." Her first CD, On the Edge, featuring the single "Just Can't Help Myself," is available through iTunes, Amazon, and ReverbNation.

The Jessica Caylyn Band appeals to a broad audience - people who listen to contemporary mainstream as well as those who want a blast from the past. They perform up to forty-eight songs per show, covering artists such as Miranda Lambert, Gretchen Wilson, Carrie Underwood, and Patsy Cline, along with audience pleasers from Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and the Eagles. But it's Jessica's own music that has been building a fan base for her worldwide.

"It's so exciting for me to sing my original material and watch the reaction we get. I love doing what I do because music is the one thing I'm most passionate about. The interaction with people gives me a natural high," she says

Next dates for The Jessica Caylyn Band:

Saturday, November 5 at the Valencia Club in Penryn, CA. (2162 Taylor Rd.)

Saturday, November 12 at Mandango's in Roseville, CA. (106 N. Sunrise Ave.)

Jessica Caylyn in Her Own Words- "People say I have a quirky personality, and I like that. They don't always know what to expect out of me, but I always feel connected with them. It's like we're all having fun, and I'm comfortable being spontaneous...

"I couldn't wait to get out of high school so I could focus full time on performing, writing more songs, and learning more about the music business. I've met such fantastic people - in the studio, working with other musicians, and of course, the audiences. It's even better than I could have imagined!...

"Performing has always been my true passion, and I'm eager to see where it all takes me. Music is always changing, and I like that. I‘m a California girl who loves the ocean, sun and swimming, yet I've been in love with the story telling of country music from the beginning...

"People tell me I have a lot to say, and that's encouraging. I'm moving at 110% now, but it's still not enough for me. I plan on touring internationally within the next five years. I'm writing songs that could be produced as country, pop, or rock - anything that helps me tell my story..."

Audiences, critics, and peers all agree: Jessica Caylyn is an unstoppable cocktail of sassy confidence, vocal power, and fearless determination.

Jessica hit the stage early. At 10 years of age, she fell in love with the "natural high" of live performing, and Bay Area audiences were quick to fall in love with her. It wasn't long before Jessica was singing the national anthem to thousands at gargantuan venues like the Laguna Seca Raceway.

She soon found her home turf: country-rock. In early 2010, she formed the Jessica Caylyn Band, a 5-piece lineup of top-notch musicians. She immediately began performing widely, gaining accolades, and garnering exuberant reviews.

"Performing will always be my true passion," says Jessica, and it's evident. She achieves a level of audience interaction that many performers can only wish for. Her personality is genuine and high-energy. Her stage presence is as spontaneous as it is audacious. Jessica is a consummate crowd-worker, and her impromptu remarks always make for a memorable show.

Jessica performs a lively combo of both country and rock favorites in addition to her original material. Live audiences are often the very first to hear Jessica's unrecorded originals, hot off the griddle.

Since October 2010, Jessica has been making regular trips to Nashville to cowrite with Music City's experienced songwriting community. It was there she met her producer, Steffon Hamulak, who assembled a crack team of big-name country sidemen to back Jessica on her first EP, On the Edge.

Today, On the Edge has been heard over the airwaves in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Germany, and the U.K. It features three upbeat songs and a bonus ballad, three of which were penned in part by Jessica.

The opening cut, "Just Can't Help Myself," was chosen April 2011 Best Song of the Month by Songwriter Universe. The same song took May 2011 Best Song of the Month at the Nashville Songwriters Association International (Sacramento Chapter). To top it off, in June she represented 101.9 "The Wolf" at the Texaco Country Showdown and again placed first.

"Caylyn has a powerful singing voice...the sort of voice that will almost certainly get her noticed," said music journalist Dan MacIntosh.

Jessica has performed at AT&T Park, the Oakland Coliseum, Alcatraz Island, casinos, and countless hotels, restaurants, and festivals. She's got talent and determination-the ingredients to success.
