Jess Novak is an award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who jumps between electric violin, guitar, piano and vocals. Since 2012, she's released 15 original albums, two singles and a book (Dare to Begin) and performed across the country from Burlington, Vermont to San Diego, California. Her group, The Jess Novak Band, celebrated 10 years in 2026 and in 2022, Novak started F.I.R.E. (females inspire, rock, empower) Festival which features women in music, art, dance, business and more. The festival takes place every March with smaller events throughout the year that help remind audiences that women belong on stages and in rooms of all kinds. Novak is passionate about her own music, but also about her mission - to uplift others and prove that if you set your mind to a dream, you can achieve it.
