Jessica Lynn channels cowgirl gospel in video for ’16 Miles’
Brooklyn-born country artist and songwriter Jessica Lynn releases her deeply personal 10-track album, ‘All I Own’, today. Crafted through years of relentless dedication and shaped by her professional challenges and recent health battles, the project is a testament to her resilience and artistry.
With the project’s release, she also delivers the official music video for the album’s standout track, ’16 Miles’ directed and filmed by 15-time Emmy Award-winning video production company FireRock Productions. Written during a lonely tour stop on a ranch surrounded by 16 miles of nothing, she refers to the track as a “musician’s prayer,” and uses the metaphor of her surroundings to tell a story of holding on to faith in music even at the loneliest moments. “Sometimes, all you see is nothing — no light at the end of the tunnel, no other road,” Jessica admits. “But if you keep moving forward, you’ll find a way.”
Despite her New York roots, Jessica Lynn’s deep connection to country music shines through her emotional storytelling and intricate lyrics. Her passion for blending music and philanthropy began early, with performances at children’s hospitals and nursing homes. Jessica’s career took off with PBS concert specials and international tours, sharing stages with icons like Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, and Loretta Lynn. Known for her powerful vocals and multi-instrumental talents, she has earned global recognition and a loyal fan base.
In 2020, Jessica’s philanthropic efforts led to a role with the U.S. Department of State’s American Voices program. As a consultant and member of American Music Abroad, she traveled worldwide as a cultural ambassador. She also created and taught the course “Tips & Tricks for The Independent Musician,” helping young artists globally access opportunities in the industry. She recently returned from Asia and is set to teach in Nigeria next.
Besides her educational outreach, she has continued using her vocal chops to support organizations like Armed Forces Entertainment and Toys for Tots, the latter of which she partners with for her annual Christmas tour: “A Very Merry Classic Christmas.” The show features the talents of local musicians and dancers of the cities she stops in, truly living and breathing her philosophy of providing chances for all young musicians and artists. On November 22, she released a 4-song live EP of tracks from the show, with all proceeds from the project going to further support Toys for Tots. Watch the complete live performance from 2024’s “A Very Merry Classic Christmas” tour here.
Jessica continues to create music that uplifts and connects, her unwavering determination reflected in every song. From overcoming vocal challenges to crafting an album that captures the highs and lows of her journey, All I Own is more than just music — it’s a testament to giving everything to your passion, no matter the cost.
