Jesse Sykes And The Sweet Hereafter, is the result of the enduring musical alchemy between singer-songwriter Jesse Sykes and guitarist Phil Wandscher, which began in Seattle, Washington in 2001.

Blending folk, blues, country, orchestral pop, and various psychedelic stylings, their sound culminates in what Jon Pareles from the New York Times once described as, “spellbound music, rapt in fatalism and sorrow.”

Known for her dusky, otherworldly vocals and lyrics that touch on the metaphysical, All Music added;  "whether the sonic setting is one of doomy distortion or fragile finger picking, Sykes remains a truly unique vocalist whose dusky voice is capable of imparting a transcendent, almost spiritual quality to almost any tune it touches."

In recent times Sykes and Wandscher often appear as a duo, or are joined onstage with bassist Bill Herzog, an original Sweet Hereafter member (and decades long member of seminal Northwest legends, Earth.) 

The trio recently returned from Europe where they had the honor of supporting avant-garde doom purveyors Sunn O))), who Sykes, Herzog and Wandscher are also known for collaborating and performing with.
They are presently preparing the release of their 5th record, after a very long recording hiatus, and are thrilled to be heading out this April, back on tour, but are especially thrilled to be playing Seattle's beloved Rabbit Box Theatre.
