Alexis Jade
Alexis Jade, simply put, is an old soul with a new sound. Her relationship with music was cultivated right on the front porch in Rosemark, TN, sitting next to her grandmother as they sang nostalgic songs such as “You are My Sunshine” and “How Much is That Doggy in the Window?” Raised in a house full of music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, music was an integral part of Jade’s childhood, and she began writing songs at a very young age. This past fall, Alexis Jade signed on to Blue Tom Records at the University of Memphis. Under Blue Tom Records, Jade will be releasing her first solo single, “Return to Sender.” Out to pave a new path for women in country music, Jade has her sights set on bringing a new sound to the time-old tales of heartbreak and loss.
