House of More

Jes Kramer has been playing music around the Midwest for over a decade. Whether in a basement or an auditorium, her songs carry an intimacy that sticks to your ribs. Replacing the traditional singer-songwriter’s acoustic guitar with a stack of battery powered keyboards and a loop pedal, Kramer’s songs build up in front of your eyes, creating the right cushion to deliver deeply personal stories with just enough hope.
