Jesse’s Girl

BIOGRAPHy

Jessie’s Girl is the World’s Greatest Tribute to the music of the 80s! The band’s primary line-up includes a team of NYC’s top rock and pop vocalists: Jenna O’Gara, Chris Hall, Mark Rinzel. They are backed by one of the tightest bands in the city comprised of 20+ year veterans of the NYC music scene: Eric Presti on guitar, Drew Mortali on bass, and Michael Maenza on drums, each with dozens of credits performing with authentic 80’s icons who made the music famous to begin with! Their weeks are filled with high-profile appearances and private events around the US, including The Theater at Madison Square Garden for the I Want My 80s Concert, ABC/NY Magazine’s launch party for The Goldbergs, a Halloween bash with Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx, a private birthday party for 80’s icon Neil Patrick Harris and Coca Cola’s massive “Tablegate” event in Tempe AZ opening for Smash Mouth! They are the only band to play Every Year on The 80s Cruise and have firmed a deal to continue performing through 2023. There is no decade like the Eighties and no party like Jesse’s Girl. So throw on your best neon and use extra hair spray on that hair – because its time to party like it’s 1989!
