Jessica Dobson (Deep Sea Diver, The Shins)

Jessica Dobson and Bryan John Appleby--by Martin Vielma

Infectious songs, a mighty voice, and superior electric guitar skills. All from a tiny, half Jewish-half Mexican Southern California native that plays in a band with her husband.

Jessica is another friend from Southern California that decided the wet northwest was more appealing than palm trees and tract homes. She just had her CD release a couple nights ago to a sold out Columbia City Theater, after only being in Seattle for about a year. 

She's previously done side-woman duties for Beck and The Yeah Yeah Yeah's, and is now part of the newest incarnation of The Shins. But now, her band Deep Sea Diver is gaining momentum here in Seattle. And rightfully so.

Go to their bandcamp to hear tracks from "History Speaks" and to purchase it. It's so good.
