“Jessica Delfino has one of the funniest bits I’ve ever heard…smart, socially aware comedy.” -The Huffington Post
“A stirring show of ribald folk songs. There’s more to this seriously talented comic songwriter than jokes…a tough show to top” — London METRO
“We were immediately stuck to our seats stunned and smiling as Jessica Delfino engaged us in tune after tune…She is funny. And smart.” — Thurston Moore & Byron Coley, Arthur Magazine
Glitters, sprinkles, rainbow fluff: A) the first few words of a kids’ song? Or, B) the opening line of an edgy, electro-pop number which got Jessica publicly denounced by the US Catholic League, sealed her first record deal and sent her on a UK tour where she had sold out shows? That would be “B”.
Introducing Jessica Delfino. Originally hailing from Damariscotta, Maine, Jessica now calls New York City her home, but she spends a good amount of her time on the road these days, sharing her “dirty folk rock” with anyone who will listen. And it turns out there are actually plenty of people who are ready to hear Jessica’s often comedic, sometimes naughty ballads, anthems and musical numbers.
Much of the award-winning songstress’s repertoire addresses the darker side of life, as in her song, “I Hate Everybody”, or deconstructs sex acts posing as anti-war campfire songs, as in her song, “No More War”. In some songs, she keeps it clean, discussing unicorns and the like. Her bevy of unusual instruments include the normal enough guitar, but then she adds to that an “emergency whistle”, a “q-chord”, and a “flying V ukulele”, and you’ve got “fun for the whole family,” Jessica explains, “except for the kids.”
Jessica recently performed at the world famous Reading & Leeds Festival in England where Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain famously rolled himself out onto the stage in a wheel chair some years ago. Jessica’s work has appeared on TV, radio and she was just this week touted as one of “NYC’s 50 most stylish people” in a photo spread in Time Out NY. Oh, and she is something of an internet celebrity. If you don’t believe it, she suggests you just “google her and see what comes up.”

Winter is a great time to learn a new skill you want to use in the warmer months. Whether you’ve always wanted to be able to join those easel jockeys out at Halibut Point on warm summer evenings, or make sketches of places you visit on vacation, I can help you develop the skills. I hold a drawing class on Tuesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m., and a painting class (any medium, including pastels) on Saturday mornings from 10 to noon.
Although I don’t hold regular gallery hours during the deep winter months (it’s commonly known that most retail is pretty dead between New Years and Tax Day) I’m still available to open the gallery for private viewings by appointment. If you would like to stop by and say hello, or have a particular painting you would like to see, please give me a call at 978-281-2803, or you can drop me an email at 
If you’re not aware, I was a resident artist in Dinan, France for the month of December. I’m posting articles about my travels, my work and sightseeing on my blog. You can find it at
