Jessica Gerhardt is a singer-songwriter and ukuleleist from Santa Monica who first began writing songs at the age of 8. After receiving a ukulele as a birthday gift, she began teaching herself to play when she was 14 and it became her primary songwriting tool. In 2016 she recorded a cover of Emmylou Harris's "Little Bird" under the name Feronia which was highly acclaimed and featured on a tribute album with a number of prolific LA artists including Phoebe Bridgers. Gerhardt also contributed auxiliary vocals in LA band Hotel For Strangers until late 2016. Taking a break for a few years from actively performing, Gerhardt returned under her own name creating powerful music that resonates with listeners on a deeper level with her release of her single "Be My Hands", the title track off of her forthcoming EP, produced by Patrick Doyle. The video was premiered in Earmilk in January 2019, followed by the release of "Aquarius" in February 2019, and "The Weakness In Me" in April 2019. Her 5-song EP will be released June 28, 2019.
