About Jodi Gaines

Jodi Gaines is an American singer-songwriter and a true Florida native known for her soulful sounds and lively performances. She performs rock, blues, folk and pop on a wide variety of stages as a solo acoustic artist and with her band.

Jodi's debut EP Soul Sugar, a genre-bending, deeply personal compilation of soul, folk, rock and country tunes, will be released on March 23, 2018, with pre-order beginning on January 31. The title track Soul Sugar was officially entered into the 2018 NPR Tiny Desk Contest on March 19, 2018. Jodi's first single, Butterflies, a blues ballad featuring guitarist Jake Walden, was released in August 2016.

In 2017 Jodi founded JGE Productions with the goal to help local musicians garner more visibility by promoting and managing local shows as well as helping them navigate music marketing. Her first show, SoFlo Battle of the Bands at the Kelsey Theater on March 10th was a big hit. She later created Rockliscious, a concert series focused on highlighting women in music and giving back to the community. It too enjoyed much success during it's inaugural 2017 Summer Tour at Terra Fermatta and The Funky Biscuit and raised enough money to put a talented young musician through music school for one year.
