Jesse Sykes (née Solomon) (born July 17, 1967) is an American singer and songwriter, best known for her band Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter, which was formed in 1999 with Phil Wandscher. == Early life == Sykes was born in Mount Kisco, New York, and grew up in Pound Ridge, New York. An obsession with Lynyrd Skynyrd drove her to purchase her first guitar at age 12. She has a BFA in photography from Rhode Island School of Design. Sykes moved to Seattle in 1990 after a brief stint in New York City.〔〔 "I was open to anything new, and on a whim just came out here," she said to the Seattle P.I. "I didn't expect to stay so long."〔 Sykes also told the Seattle P.I that among her more memorable experiences in the '90s was meeting maverick songwriter Townes Van Zandt after a Seattle show.〔 "Instantly, I felt like I knew him. There was something very, very powerful about him," she said. "I think he's one of those guys who was kind of like a shaman. He was full of love. I think he made everyone who met him feel that love. He was there to receive and to give. When he hugged me, it felt like a river was going right through my heart. That feeling never really went away."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesse Sykes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
