Hailing from the rolling hills of Devon, Jo Burgess captures a heartfelt blend of folk rock and indie pop. A true storyteller at heart, Jo creates songs full of raw emotion, shimmering melodies, and lyrical honesty—drawing inspiration from a life lived close to the land and music. Growing up on a farm in a large, musical household, Jo picked up guitar, piano, and songwriting from an early age. She’s now a seasoned multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer with a voice both earthy and ethereal.
Her 2024 album A Familiar Pain builds on the success of previous singles, exploring themes of love, memory, and personal reckoning that showcase her continued evolution as a bold and honest artist. With a sound inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile and The Staves, Jo has carved out a space where poetic lyrics meet anthemic, emotional songwriting.
