Jobi Riccio & Roesy

Jobi Riccio is an artist known for her vulnerable vocal delivery, compelling live performances, and her powerfully intimate yet universal lyricism. Riccio is stepping into her next chapter with Face The Feeling, her forthcoming album on Yep Roc Records due May 15. An “Emerging Act of the Year” nominee from the Americana Music Association, Riccio first broke through with her 2023 debut Whiplash, a coming-of-age record rooted in folk and country traditions. On Face The Feeling, she pushes far beyond those foundations, embracing a bolder, electric, indie-rock-driven sound that mirrors the album’s emotional depth.

Where Whiplash captured the restless search for escape, Face The Feeling finds Riccio choosing to stay, confronting grief, rage, self-doubt, desire, and devotion head-on. Written between Colorado and Nashville and co-produced with longtime collaborators Isaiah Beard and Jesse Timm, the album balances light and dark, restraint and release, as Riccio leans into discomfort as a path toward growth. Songs like “Pilar, NM,” “Wildfire Season,” and “Doesn’t Matter” reveal an artist willing to sit inside complicated feelings rather than outrun them.

Roesy is permanently back in Ireland after 15 years in Australia. He returned in September 2025 for a solo tour that opened at Electric Picnic and continued across 11 dates nationwide. To mark this homecoming and return to the stage, he begins a new run of solo shows with special guests at Woodfield Cafe in his hometown of Birr, Co. Offaly on April 26th.

A songwriter with his first publishing deal signed with Warner Chappell in 1996, Roesy’s catalogue spans eight albums, two EPs, and touring across Europe, the US, Australia, and New Zealand. His work is long celebrated for lyrical depth and emotional clarity, with The Irish Times describing him as “armed with a crystalline pair of vocal chords.”
