Check Out Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas’ Detroit Pop ‘n’ Soul

Soul-popsters Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas found their start in a town filled with rich musical history: Detroit. Growing up in the suburbs of the city, Hernandez performed in choirs and was involved in theater before trying her hand at rock ‘n’ roll in college. In 2009, she formed her own band and set to work blending her ideal sonic composition.

In this exclusive performance, shot live from the Toyota Tent at Lollapalooza 2015 in conjunction with SPIN, Hernandez and her band deliver a deft version of their tune “Dead Brains,” featured on their debut album, Secret Evil. The set, released in 2014, won a slate of critical acclaim — including raves from David Letterman, whom they performed for live — praising the outfit’s clever mix of retro and modern influences.
