In this inspiring replay episode of Music Saved Me, host Lynn Hoffman sits down with acclaimed Nashville singer-songwriter Jess Jocoy for an intimate conversation about transformation, authenticity, and the healing power of music.

Jess opens up about her deeply personal journey through life’s in-between spaces—navigating over a decade of loss, heartache, and self-doubt—and how songwriting became her path to resilience and self-discovery. She shares the stories behind her anticipated third studio album, “Cul-de-Sac Kid,” exploring the honest, cinematic songs that blend folk-rooted introspection with country storytelling.

In this candid conversation, Jess discusses:

∙ How music became a guiding force through her most challenging moments

∙ The meaning behind “Cul-de-Sac Kid” and her unique “cul-de-sac country” sound

∙ Finding belonging and healing in a music industry that hasn’t always made space for outsiders

∙ The therapeutic power of songwriting as a lens for understanding loss and growth

∙ What it means to embrace your roots while forging your own artistic path

Jess also reflects on the influences that shaped her career—from early inspiration by Alan Jackson and Shania Twain to settling into her authentic voice with age and experience. Listeners will get a sneak peek at new music and hear how every lyric Jess writes serves as an act of resilience and hope for anyone feeling caught in-between.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever turned to music for comfort, healing, or a way forward. Join us for echoes of resilience, vulnerability, and the transformative power of honest storytelling.
