About / Biography

My name is Jess Orestano and I am based in Northamptonshire.

I have been playing the guitar for 20 years and singing for as long as I can remember! My favourite style to play is finger-picking but I cover a wide variety of songs from all through the ages, both chilled and upbeat, which you can find a selection of below.

As well as being a professional performer, I also have a degree in Music Technology, a masters in Audio Engineering and 5+ years of experience sound engineering, including a stage at Glastonbury festival, so you can guarantee that the sound will be as good as the performance :)

I provide my own medium to large PA, or a smaller (can be battery powered) Boss Cube so I can fit in tiny venues as well as having a robust enough sound for larger venues. I also have public liability insurance and all of my equipment is PAT tested.

As well as covers I have a repertoire of original material that you can find a selection of on Spotify by searching for my name.

I have 10+ years of live gigging experience and am very professional and competent.

I am happy to chat to you about what set list I can create for you, negotiating and fee and learning songs of your choice so don't hesitate to get in touch and ask me anything :)
