Short bio
Jessie & The Revolvers are a four-piece from Stoke-on-Trent, fronted by singer-songwriter Jessie James. They play alternative and indie rock with an Americana and blues edge: country and western songwriting run through raw, guitar-driven sounds from the 90s to now. Since their 2025 debut Self Obsessed they have released three more singles, been named Best Young Act at the 2026 Music Awards of Staffordshire & Cheshire, and been played on Radio X's Chris Moyles Show and BBC Introducing.
In one line
Alt rock, indie and Americana from Stoke-on-Trent, with big hooks and Best Young Act at the 2026 Music Awards of Staffordshire & Cheshire.
How it started
The band began at an open mic night in Stoke-on-Trent in 2023. Nathan, now the drummer, watched Jessie play, came over afterwards and told her she sounded too good not to have a band behind her. Both had years in other bands and wanted to build something new.
Jessie writes the songs and brings the blueprint, and the band bring it to life. Since then they've packed local rooms including The Sugarmill, The Underground, The Backyard, Off The Square and Aatma, headlined the Artisan Tap in early 2026 and followed it with a slot at Foundry Festival.
Live
A tight, high-energy set led by a strong frontwoman and a rhythm section that hits hard. A good fit for indie nights, alt-rock line-ups and any bill that wants modern rock with character.
The full band plays 30 to 60 minute sets. Jessie also plays solo acoustic sets.
