🎸🎵 [E Austin] live music: Jess Healey @ Batch Craft

[Jess Healey](https://www.jesshealeymusic.com/music) is an Austin-based indie artist who sets memorable melodies against complex harmony and writes with unflinching self-awareness to create songs that are personal yet expansive. Blending elements of pop, folk, soul, rock, and jazz, her work draws comparisons to Fiona Apple, Madison Cunningham, and Corinne Bailey Rae. ​ Since launching her career in 2023, she performed an official SXSW 2024 showcase and plays notable venues including the Mohawk, Monks Jazz Club, and the Elephant Room. In 2025, Jess released her debut EP "tryhard," a six-song collection that moves seamlessly between groovy jam tracks and sweeping piano ballads, balancing musical sophistication with emotional honesty. She will be releasing her sophomore EP this fall. \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- As you might expect from their name, Batch Craft Beers & Kolaches brews around twenty different ales and lagers, with about a dozen on tap at any given time, as well as other beverages (incl. non-alcoholic) in glass bottles. They serve several variations of Texas' favorite Czech pastry, including brisket+pickle+Swiss and sausage+jalapeño+cheese, with smoked meats from Micklethwait BBQ, and chocolate+caramel+pecan.
