Jessie & the Veil are a Dublin-based Folk-Rock band, who blend the storytelling aspects of folk music with the emotional intensity and theatricality of artists like Wolf Alice, Florence + the Machine and The Cranberries.
Writing and performing in both Irish and English, the band have quickly gathered a large following on social media and within the Irish music scene. Following an hour-long debut at Electric Picnic 2025 and multiple packed-out gigs around Ireland, including as the support act for Gene Gallagher’s band Villanelle, the band are set to release their first single ‘An Bhfuil tú i nGrá Léi?’ on February 1st 2026.
The Irish language is central to the band’s stage presence and sound. Their music fuses Irish traditional elements with punchy, modern rock, creating a bold, contemporary sound rooted in culture and connection. Jessie & the Veil are quickly establishing themselves as a band to watch, encouraging individuals of all levels to find joy and escape in the Irish language.

EMBER
