Jezzebelle is Katie Carpenter & Gary Burke from Dublin, Ireland.
They began writing & performing together in 2005.
"...Their high octane-propulsion, and driving dogmatic rhythms mark them out from the crowd..."
- Siobhán Long (The Ticket, Irish Times)
"...This is one live act that have an unique sound, Jezzebelle have a sweet southern blues feel and the crusted soulful vocals from Katie adds that special ingredient. Class stuff... ******"
- Trevor Halpin (Music Review Unsigned)
2010 will see a brand new album from Jezzebelle. They hit the studio in early '09 with new songs and a new rhythm section, taking the acoustic sound of their first release; "Dirt Tacks" and pushing it into a new realm. They are just finished a 45-date tour of California to promote their "Turn On The Light" EP, a 6-track taster of what is to come on the full album.
Following the American tour they played at this years Cork Jazz Festival & as special guest for acts including Jack L & Don Baker. Jezzebelle were also finalists in this years National Song Contest & the All Ireland Battle of The Bands 2009. In December they will open for Juliet Turner and also for Freddie White.
While recording their 2nd album this year, Jezzebelle played in The Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots Festival, as a headline act in The Dublin City Soul Festival and also took part in the final round of this years JD-Set competition.
"...Katie Carpenter is in possession of a powerful, soulful instrument..."
- Killian Murphy, Hotpress Magazine
In June '08 Jezzebelle headed to Los Angeles for 3 months where they completed a 60-date tour, playing mostly in the West & North Hollywood scenes and a one off appearance at House of Blues Anaheim. March '08 saw the release of 'The Potential Collection Vol. 2', an acoustic compilation of upbeat songs by Irish acts associated with The Zodiac Sessions (named Dublin's finest Open Mic Night by Hotpress Magazine). Jezzebelle song "Bad Seed" is the opening track on the album:
"...You can hear the passion stream from this track with a nice upbeat acoustic folk blues feel. The vocals stand out pretty well as they simmer a bit like Janice Joplin early blues number but a sweet little tune..." *****
- T. Halpin, Music Review Unsigned
"...A powerful and potential song..."
- Danny McElhenny, Daily Mail
To coincide with this release, the music video for Bad Seed was launched in February '08 and has since been featured on TG4's POP4, City Channel's Pure Music and on the web by YouTube, MySpace and Music Scene Ireland. The album was also named Album of the Fortnight by Jackie Hayden of Hotpress Magazine.

They released their first album 'Dirt Tracks' in February 2007. Following the release of Dirt Tracks, Jezzebelle won The Clonmel National Song Contest 2007 with their song 'The Road Ahead'.
"...Dirt Tracks; a marriage of Acoustic Country Sass, Rock n'Roll rhythms and Seductive Story Telling from two distinctive vocalists..."
- John Cleary, Kilkenny Advertiser
"...Absolutely Great! Jezzebelle don't sound like anybody else around..."
