Debut album: “These days” available now

“‘These days, I don’t lose sleep anymore,’ sings Jess O’Brien on ‘These Days.’

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.”
