Fawkes and Friends: Jessica Guise

By and large, this episode of Fawkes and Friends is a little more serious than most. Of course, there is still talk about Black Guy Fawkes’s upcoming shows in Denver (for Punk Rock Saves Lives), Gilbert, PA (for Camp Punksylvania), and Cumberland, MD (for the 6th annual Fawkes and Friends festival at Dig Deep Brewing Company), and the guys and the guest still play the quickfire game at the end, but today, Jessica Guise joins Ian and Ed to talk about her music and her writing process. As her non-music work is in the field of mental health, the conversation steers itself to some more serious places–the stigma of seeking out help with mental health, resources for mental health help in both the UK and the US, and how addressing mental health concerns can lend itself to the creative process. Of course, there is also talk about shitty American light beer, as well as favorite musicals and karaoke songs, but it’s important to stress that this episode is, at times, a bit more serious than previous episodes.

GUISE is the heart and soul of pop-folk singer-songwriter Jess Guise. Possessed of a remarkable folk lilt, she sings with delicacy whilst landing some vicious asides - by turns sweet, funny, and haunting. Whilst locked down with her husband, Frank Turner, Jess won the hearts of his large and welcoming fan base through their weekly livestreams raising funds for live venues, and a buzz rose up around her music in that world. Jess has been building on that buzz honing her live craft on the road, supporting and sharing stages with the likes of Richard Thompson, Frank Turner, Will Varley, The Arkells, Grace Petrie and Sean McGowan. More info at her website.
