Jesse Taylor is a singer/songwriter whose music delves deep into personal reflection, vulnerability, and raw emotion. A Maine native who’s made Vermont her home for over a decade, Jesse began her musical journey in 2015 after walking away from dental hygiene school. Drawing inspiration from her experiences working in the service industry and navigating the complexities of depression, anxiety, and ADHD, Jesse crafts lyrics that resonate with authenticity and grit. Her songwriting became an imperative emotional outlet– a way to process life’s challenges and triumphs.
She formed Jesse Taylor Band in 2017 and since 2019 has been joined by locals Nick Treis on lead guitar, Ian Greenman on bass, and since 2022, Carlton Yost on the drums. Each member brings their own unique energy and musical influence to the group, creating a dynamic sound that is ever-changing. JTB captures a sound that blends both the grit of classic rock and the heart of modern folk, laced with the undeniable influence of 90’s alt-rock. With lyrics that are as raw, relatable, and vulnerable as they are powerful, Jesse’s music is a cathartic release and offers listeners a glimpse into her own world while inviting them to reflect on their own.
JTB released an EP back in 2021, and since then has released a few singles over the years, and the band is very much looking forward to celebrating the release of their first full length album “Feel Everything” coming out late Spring 2026.

The Leatherbound Books blend pop-tinged indie rock with crushing low self-esteem to create music fit for a solo lap at your local roller rink or a ride in the back of a mid-90s station wagon. This Burlington, VT based trio gets louder all the time, leaving their folksy roots behind and CRANKING DISTORTION!

Alex Frantz and Zack Shafer, both singers and guitarists, had been writing and playing together for five years. After moving from Ohio to Vermont, they brought in bassist Phil Smith, and drummer Sophie Powell to form The Eyetraps. Drawing inspiration from ’90s grunge and modern indie rock, their self-titled debut EP is built on heavy, distorted guitars, raw vocals, and stacked harmonies to tell tales of regret, loss, and the lies we tell ourselves.
The Eyetraps released their debut EP in August of 2025.
