Vocalist Jessie Wagner’s new single is now streaming everywhere. Wagner says, “‘I Just Can’t Today’ came about when I was having one of those “I Can’t Get It Right” days. I allowed myself some grace. Sometimes you need a moment to take a deep breath, lose yourself in a mindless Netflix comedy, and regroup. That’s what this song is about. Giving yourself the courtesy to start again.”
Of the B-side (“he Unknown”), Wagner says, “‘The Unknown’ is a song about realizing how fleeting time can be. You think you always have enough of it, and then one day, the thing you wanted most is out of reach. For me, this was the choice of career over family. The Unknown is the joy of a child in my life.”

About Jessie Wagner:
It’s been a long journey to center stage for Jessie Wagner.

After logging thousands of miles as an in-demand vocalist on tour with Lenny Kravitz, Chic, Duran Duran, Kid Rock and most recently Little Steven and The Disciples Of Soul, Jessie Wagner revealed a very personal collection of songs with ‘Shoes Droppin’ her 2020 debut solo album for Wicked Cool Records.
Displaying an impressive range encompassing bluesy R&B, neo-soul, acoustic balladry and rock a la John Mayer’s more confessional side, Shoes maintained a unified sound rooted in ’60s and ’70s style production. The songs traced times of darkness and redemption for the Norfolk, Virginia native, now based in New York City, who also fronts the rock/soul band Army of the Underdog.
Recorded during downtime from the Little Steven world tour, ‘Shoes Droppin” was produced by drummer Dave Diamond (Bob Weir, Derek Trucks) with engineer Chris Laybourne, and featured co-writes with seasoned soul guitarist Sherrod Barnes (Beyoncé, Angie Stone, Ashanti, Whitney Houston, Roberta Flack and Queen Latifah).
Wagner will release her sophomore solo effort in 2024.
