Jessica Horton
Singer/Songwriter
Jessica Horton has been singing country music since she was three. Today, that voice has earned her a Dollywood residency, a No. 1 single, and the 2026 Josie Music Award for Vocalist of the Year in the Multi-Genre Female category. A singer-songwriter from Columbus, Mississippi, Jessica draws from classic country, gospel, and Americana, with more than 30 original songs released.
Her first stages were schoolhouses, opry houses, and festivals, performing beside her grandfather, “Pop” Jess, who taught her guitar and piano. The songs of Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, and Hank Williams helped shape her sound, alongside the gospel music she grew up singing. She later studied vocal performance and music education at Mississippi University for Women before beginning her recording career with Dennis and Leslie McKay of M.A.C. Records. Her debut, Both Feet In, arrived in 2019, followed by releases including Let Go, Songs That Raised Me, and Communion. Her single “I Have a Friend” reached No. 1 on the SGN Scoops Bluegrass Chart.
Jessica’s stage career includes appearances alongside Ronnie McDowell, Jeff Bates, Tony Jackson, Trey Hensley, and Rob Ickes. Since 2024, she has also portrayed Patsy Cline in Always… Patsy Cline alongside Madeline Golden and the Silver Eagle Band. From her own recordings to her Dollywood residency, she continues to build on a lifetime of making music.
Jessica Horton has a timeless country voice, and she’s just getting started.
