Jessica-Lea-Mayfield-5

Ohio singer-songwriter Jessica Lea Mayfield unleashed her fuzzy guitar tones and wistful vocals to a big crowd at the Echo on Thursday night, part of the tour behind her third album “Make My Head Sing.” The 25-year-old sported aquamarine hair, long lashes and a measured intensity, playing highlights from the album such as “Oblivious” and “I Wanna Love You.” L.A. trio Big Harp supported with a upbeat set of songs from their forthcoming third album (as well as the new 7-inch “It’s a Shame,” coming March 10), and Portland’s Mimicking Birds delighted the early crowd with a tight set of music including selections from their second album “Eons.”
