These Days

Debut album — 2025

Written between 2022 and 2025, These Days is the debut album of Vermont-based singer-songwriter Jess O'Brien. Rich in folk, blues, country, and the American singer-songwriter tradition, the album traverses the full range of human experience — from Americana grit to soft, heart-wrenching intimacy — anchored throughout in emotional honesty, keen observation, and storytelling that is deeply human, and deeply feeling.

Recorded, mixed, and produced by Colin McCaffrey at The Green Room in East Montpelier, Vermont. Mastered by Lane Gibson at the Vermont Music Lab in Essex Junction, Vermont. Vocal harmonies by Paul Miller, who served as Executive Producer of the project.
