ION’S REVERBNATION ARTIST OF THE MONTH Story J.B. Bridges ION Indie Magazine is pleased to feature this month, our choice for our ReverbNation “Artist of the Month”, JESSICA MEUSE (aka “JESS MEUSE”). From deep in the heart of Dixie, this Country/Alternative/Rock vocalist calls Slapout, Alabama “home”, proving once again, Southern Peaches aren't just found in Georgia. Especially rare ones that play violin, guitar and piano and also, sing (since the age of 10)... Jessica Meuse...Jessica Meuse...that name sounds familiar, as it should. Jess was a contestant on the thirteenth season of AMERICAN IDOL. She was the first ever person to perform an original song during the finals. It was unfortunate, for it was also the same season that many journalists and reviewers--as well as fans--thought the judges were not operating on a level playing field when it came to Jess. She did, however, finish having earned her place as a part of the American Idol summer tour in 2014.
