Jessi McNeal Shares New Single From Forthcoming Album

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Raised in rural Washington state in the log house built by her parents, Jessi McNeal has been singing and writing songs in some shape or form for most of her life. Simple hymns and old country tunes formed the soundtrack of her childhood, and her ear for melody and love of storytelling developed at an early age. Americana, bluegrass and folk traditions are present and alive in her lyrics and music, as the imagery and landscapes of country life weave their way into her songs. Her sound is comforting and inviting, though she doesn't shy away from the difficulties and struggles of life's journey, instead using songwriting as a soothing balm for many wounds, creating songs rimmed in redemption.

This week, McNeal announced via The Boot a new collection of songs, The Driveway, out on August 16th, with the premiere of the video for lead single "Won't Run Dry," a foot-stomping gospel-tinged nod to her roots. "Jessi McNeal's musical backbone is rooted in the sacred," says The Boot in its premiere. "She grew up singing hymns and timeless country songs, and as she has evolved as a songwriter, she continues to grow from that tradition of reverence and meditation...Nowhere are those roots more apparent than in her latest release, 'Won't Run Dry.'"
