“Jessica Cox doesn’t play the cello, she wields it!” (Union Chapel)
With a passion for all things musical I’m embracing the kaleidoscopic musical spectrum that is the rich life of being a freelance musician. Whether performing ‘Good Vibrations’ with Brian Wilson or ‘Do(ing) Nothing’ creating arrangements for The Specials I am lucky to be able to say I enjoy my job!

2024
Jessica is touring with Jeff Lynnes ELO on the Over and out tour in the US, sadly just there :-(
I went to see London Symphonic Rock Orchestra in my hometown, Vejle in Danmark. Really a great experience, where big well-known rock classics were played on classical instruments.
Metallica, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Soft Cell, Led Zeppelin, DAD, Rammstein and many others.
After the show made a Google search of the band, and what do I see there, Jess Cox, is the normal on the cello and even a co-producer of the show.
