Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, welcome to my latest labor of love - The Name Is Tess.

When Tess approached me in the fall of 2011 to ask if I would Executive Produce her record, I answered without hesitation: YES. Tess is a truly special artist and it has been an honor to create this Hip-Rock-n-B sound with her. We hope it is a musical experience that stays with you long after the record stops spinning.

Please come back here or go to TheNameIsTess.com and listen to the EP anytime, as often as you like, for absolutely no charge. Tell your friends! Tell your friends’ friends! We want to share this music with as many ears and souls as possible. But please help support our work and independent music in general. Buy this EP and help us continue to create great tunes. Check it out on iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon.com or any of your favorite digital outlets.

Thank You & Enjoy!
Reynolds

“Working with Mr. Reynolds was like working with an older brother who has really high hopes for you. I can always count on him to push me just outside my comfort zone. Forcing me to improve my writing ability, vocal range and even dabbling in producing. Most important thing I learned from working with him is that your can’t force creativity, and that’s ok.” - Tess
