Jasmine Rodgers has a rapidly-growing reputation for fusing influences from rock, blues, soul, folk and country into lush musical textures layered with poetic lyrics. Four years after the release of her acclaimed album Blood Red Sun, Jasmine is back with “Flies”, the first single from her forthcoming EP.
