Featured Artist:

Jessica Willis Fisher
Jessica Willis Fisher is a singer, songwriter, and fiddler whose music and words spring from a storyteller’s heart. Rooted in the traditions of folk, Irish, country, and bluegrass, she began performing at an early age with her family band. Those formative years placed her on some of music’s most iconic stages, including the Grand Ole Opry, and in front of national audiences through appearances on America’s Got Talent.

As she grew into her own artistry, Jessica discovered a powerful voice that blends the timeless pull of traditional music with the intimate honesty of contemporary songwriting. Her debut solo album, Brand New Day, set the tone with songs that were both deeply autobiographical and joyfully anthemic. She followed it with Blooming, a record that explores healing, transformation, and resilience. Across its tracks, Jessica leans into acoustic folk-Americana textures, fiddle-driven instrumentals, and reflective storytelling, crafting music that celebrates growth and honors both scars and strengths.

Beyond music, Jessica is also an author and advocate. Her memoir, Unspeakable: Surviving My Childhood and Finding My Voice, is a testament to courage, charting her journey through trauma and into self-discovery. Since its release, she has become a passionate voice for survivors, using her platform to encourage others to seek healing and empowerment.

Whether on stage with her fiddle in hand, on the page with her words, or through her advocacy, Jessica invites audiences into stories that are honest, vulnerable, and ultimately hopeful. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband, Sean, and their Australian Shepherd, Bucky, continuing to create music and share stories that inspire connection, courage, and renewal.

Dan Hubbard (Host)
Hosting the evening is Illinois native Dan Hubbard, a seasoned singer-songwriter who has spent over two decades carving out a reputation as one of the Midwest’s most honest and enduring artists. With ten studio projects, countless miles on the road, and a devoted fan base, Hubbard’s music blends timeless sincerity with wide-reaching appeal.

Known for his heartfelt lyrics and memorable melodies, Hubbard has been praised as “beautiful, powerful, and often seemingly effortless.” His upcoming two-part EP project, beginning with Vol. 1: Letting Go (fall 2025), showcases both his maturity as a songwriter and his restless creative spirit. Hubbard’s gift lies in connection—inviting listeners into stories that feel lived-in, personal, and true.
