Jessica’s Brother is a London based folky-Americana band consisting of songwriter Tom Charleston, Jonny Helm on drums, and bassist Charlie Higgs – although for their debut album they’ve roped in friends to fill out the sound. Jonny and Charlie were working together in a framing business but wanted to form a band – a wish catalysed into reality when Jonny’s girlfriend, Jessica, introduced him to her brother Tom – a songwriter in need of a band. From such a stroke of fortune came Jessica’s Brother and this slow-burner of laid back contemplation of life.
