Jessica's Home was totally destroyed by the fire. she and her mother have lost everything!!!
Sadly, yesterday Jessica told me that her house and all of her belongings where destroyed by the wildfire that swept through the Lost Pines area. Here is what Jessica had to say--
"It's true. Our home is gone. A very kind policeman took me down there today and I saw it with my own eyes. As I take a mental tally of everything that's gone, the things I miss the most are my family photos, my musical instruments, some sentimental heirlooms, our awesome neighbors, all my plants.... but sitting on that front porch and listening to the wind sway those majestic pines trees to and fro with my Mom... that was a beautiful time. I know we'll re-create it ..."
I have set up a donation fund through PayPal so that she can accept donations to help re-establish a home for herself and her mother. If you would like to make a cash donation to a Fire Relief Fund for Jessica and her mother to begin rebuilding their lives, please click here to give via PayPal or mail your check to:

Jessica Shepherd
Born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas, Jessica has spent much of her life doing anything related to music and the arts; singing and songwriting are just her favorites. Her debut album, Travellingirl brought international acclaim with chart success in Australia that resulted in three international tours and song placement in the The Vision movie soundtrack. Not bad for a Texas girl on her first album!

Nominated Female Vocalist of the Year 2010 by The Texas Music Awards, for her performance on this body of art, it is a brilliant display of Jessica's finely honed skills as a singer, songwriter and producer. This new CD has already received rave industry reviews.
