Jessie Wagner – releases new single “Up Against The Wall” taken from upcoming album ‘War Within’

Jessie Wagner is a highly sought-after touring vocalist who has performed alongside legendary artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Chic, Duran Duran, and Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. She also leads the NYC rock/soul band Army of the Underdog. In 2020, she released her critically acclaimed debut solo album, Shoes Droppin’.

Jessie will release her new LP ‘War Within’ on April 25 via Wicked Cool Records.

Jessie Wagner’s journey to center stage has been a long and winding one. After years of singing beloved hits on some of the world’s biggest stages, she is finally stepping into the spotlight on her own terms—sharing her personal stories of triumph and pain through her own music.

As an in-demand touring vocalist, Jessie has traveled thousands of miles performing with icons like Lenny Kravitz, Chic, Duran Duran, and Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul. In 2020, she unveiled her most personal work yet—her debut solo album, Shoes Droppin’, released through Wicked Cool Records.

Blending bluesy R&B, neo-soul, acoustic balladry, and rock reminiscent of John Mayer’s more introspective side, Shoes Droppin’ maintained a cohesive sound rooted in the rich production styles of the ’60s and ’70s. The album’s deeply personal songs reflected Jessie’s own journey through hardship and redemption—an evolution shaped by her roots in Norfolk, Virginia, and her current home in New York City, where she also fronts the rock/soul band Army of the Underdog.
