Jessie Reid

“Sublime new folk … a special talent” 

 – Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

Jessie Reid’s second album Little Sparks is about hope, about those tiny moments of positivity that get us through the everyday, the glimmers of light hidden amongst the mundane.

The young Shropshire artist’s raw and intimate indie-folk has already racked up over 10 million streams, support from the likes of Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson & Emily Pilbeam on BBC 6 Music, regular spins on BBC Radio Ulster & BBC Radio Wales, a regional BBC Introducing Artist of the Year accolade, and a breakfast show Single of the Day on LA tastemaker Nic Harcourt’s SoCal 88.5FM.

Of the new album, Jessie says:

“These songs stress the importance of noticing the small things that give us meaning, even when life feels heavy. Some are soft and personal, like ‘Let Your Love Run Cold’ and ‘Your Story’. Others, such as ‘Devil Calls’ and ‘Cracks Forming’, wrestle with darker feelings. Sitting somewhere in between are ‘Against the Tide’ and ‘Beauty in Sadness’ – songs about struggle, but also about staying strong and holding on. I’d like to think the title track ‘Little Sparks’ ties it all together: the idea that even in the midst of the mundane, we can find sparks of light worth chasing and holding on to. I’m really proud of this record. It feels honest, and I hope these songs can be little sparks for anyone who needs them.”

Following 2024’s Glastonbury and Camp Bestival debuts, Jessie enjoyed a great 2025 festival season with acclaimed sets at Fuse Fest, Kendal Calling, Green Man, Found Festival, Between The Trees and Moseley Folk. Her 2026 live schedule is already shaping up nicely with The Lost ARC one of the first venue gigs of the year ahaed!            

A songwriter wise beyond her years, Jessie’s understated vocals and innovative percussive guitar style have drawn praise from tastemaker press and comparisons with the likes of Iron & Wine, Lucy Rose, Memorial & Ben Howard, with tracks enjoying wide editorial support at Spotify, including the coveted Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist, and sync placements on Channel 4, SKY and ITV.

Released on 6^th February 2026, Little Sparks is an album about finding hope in the darkness, living and loving again, and seeing beauty even in sadness.
