Debut album: These days available now
“‘These days, I don’t lose sleep anymore,’ sings Jess O’Brien on ‘These Days.’ ‘I’m not sipping you in my coffee cup / Over sunrise on the front porch.’
‘These days I don’t shed tears any longer,’ she adds. ‘I’m all dried up, and I’m stronger.’
The title track is a gorgeous and cathartic opener on the Plainfield singer-songwriter’s spellbinding debut, ‘These Days,’ which O’Brien released in May of 2025. And it’s one of many stellar tunes on the 14-song, hour-long set, which marks the arrival of an unassuming yet assured new voice on the Vermont music scene.”
