Jesse Sykes is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on July 17, 1967 in Mount Kisco, New York, United States. Jesse Sykes (nee Solomon) (born 17 July 1967) is a popular American musician and singer, most well-known for her band Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter which formed in 1999 along with Phil Wandscher.

In 1999, Sykes got to know Producer Tucker Martine who recorded and produced the initial three albums from The Sweet Hereafter. The album of 2011 “Marble Son” was produced by Sykes and Wandscher as well as the engineer Mell Dettmer. The band also recorded and mixing on Like, Love, Lust and Open Halls of the Soul and Marble Son by Martin Feveyear. It was the band’s first time signing by Barsuk Records in 2003 after Chris Walla of Death Cab For Cutie is also a Barsuk group, listened to the album’s debut single “Reckless Burning” and brought the album to the attention of the label’s head Josh Rosenfeld. The following year, they signed with the French-based label Fargo. The follow-up album, “Oh, My Girl” was acknowledged in the music journalist Jon Pareles of the New York Times in his final calendar which included “2004 albums that deserve notice before turning the calendar page” and also appeared in the NPR program All Things Considered. The Seattle Times said; “Rolling Stone magazine described Sykes the album’s dark, emotional raw album “quiet beautiful evocations of sorrow,” and “Oh, My Girl” made a handful of Top 10 of 2004 lists.”

Sykes’ association with Altar came about in 2006 when she had been asked by the members of Sunn O))), to write lyrics and a melody and sing over music they had created with members of Boris, for the upcoming collaborative album. Sykes named the song “The Sinking Belle”. Sykes said she drew inspiration for the song from author Joan Didion’s widow’s memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking. Pitchfork called The Sinking Belle “Altars centerpiece and masterpiece”.

In 2010, Sykes sang at All Tomorrow’s Parties in Monticello, New York with the festival’s headliner Altar, a collaborative project (as well as album name) between Sunn O))) and Boris. The festival was curated by the film director Jim Jarmusch. That same weekend Sykes also performed in Altar at Brooklyn’s Masonic Temple. The show was opened by BXI, the collaborative project with Ian Astbury, front person of The Cult, and Boris, followed by Jesse Sykes and The Sweet Hereafter. On this night a power outage occurred, lasting forty-five minutes. In order to preserve power, Altar was performed in the dark. On December 10, 2007 Sykes also performed with Altar as part of ATP at The Forum, London.

In 1998 she began to meet Phil Wandscher, a founder of the alt-country duo Whiskeytown. They formed the group Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter. The band members from The Sweet Hereafter included Anne Marie Ruljancich on the viola, Bill Herzog on bass, Kevin Warner on drums (on the first two records) along with Eric Eagle on drums.

In 2005, Conor Oberst, a fan of the band, invited them to tour with his band Bright Eyes. After the release of their third album, Like, Love, Lust and the Open Halls of the Soul, which the Dallas Observer called “her first masterpiece” and CMJ said “a significant step forward for Sykes as a torchbearer of masterful mourning.” The band then toured with Sparklehorse. The New York Times reviewed the show at New York City’s Webster Hall, saying “in some ways Ms. Sykes could be a female counterpoint to Mr. Linkous” in an article titled “Everything Crumbles Toward Eternities”. Sadly, Mark Linkous died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound in 2010. Sparklehorse was dropped from its label during the tour with the Sweet Hereafter, which Sykes described as a “bomb dropped on the Sparklehorse camp—most critically on Mark Linkous” in an article for the Seattle Weekly she authored describing her experience touring with Mark Linkous. The song, “Birds Of Passerine” on Marble Son was written by Sykes for Mark Linkous after his death.
