"I'm so lucky. It's like a fever dream sometimes." — Jessy Bell SmithÂ
Singer-songwriter Jessy Bell Smith is ever grateful, and continually in awe of being a Skydigger. In this interview, Jessy's love and respect for her bandmates, her gratitude for the music, and her deep dedication to the songs comes shining through.Â
For almost 20 years, Jessy has been gracing the Skydiggers lineup, adding feminine warmth, spirit, and soul to the well-honed roots rock foundations of the band. Jessy's presence is joyful and compelling; her voice is dynamic and rich. Since 2009 (or so), she has sung and danced her way into the hearts of Skydiggers fans everywhere.
This interview was recorded at The Tragically Hip's Bathouse Studio in Bath, Ontario, during the recording of Skydiggers new album Dreams and Second Chances (available everywhere May 9, 2025).Â
