Jess
Reimer has both a writing style and a voice that will leave you wondering
where she came from. Jess was born in Thompson, Manitoba, and spent
most of her time growing up in southern Manitoba. She was surrounded
by bluegrass, old time, gospel, country, folk and choral music throughout
her childhood. Growing up in a Mennonite community, Jess was immersed
in music by her family, church and school. Jess' father Doug, sang
and played guitar to her throughout childhood, until she was a teenager
when Jess and Doug began making music together for local audiences.
She has sung and played in numerous Winnipeg based bands, however
the Doug and Jess Band is where all of her song writing jewels come
alive. Bridging the gap between religious and human vulnerability,
Jess paints a picture so vivid; she makes an audience feel as though
they've walked in her shoes.
