With her honeyed Texan twang and smart, relatable songs, Jamie Lin Wilson earned her stripes in the late 2000s fronting Americana outfit the Sidehill Gougers, then later as part of the close harmony country quartet the Trishas. Though she made name as a collaborator and songwriter, Wilson later launched a career as a solo artist with albums like 2015's Holidays and Wedding Rings and 2018's Jumping Over Rocks.

Native of Sealy, Texas, Wilson later relocated to the Hill Country around Austin. Inspired by seeing Natalie Maines do a solo performance during a Dixie Chicks concert, she began playing guitar while at college at Texas A&M. Within a year she'd helped form the Sidehill Gougers, a spirited Americana combo and Hill Country favorite who found some success with independent releases like 2003's The Runaway Scrape and 2008's A Long Day for the Weathervane, the latter of which was credited simply to the Gougers.
