February 28, 2025 — After an eventful autumn that saw Jaelee Roberts named as the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year and Sister Sadie — Mountain Home Music Company labelmates and the group in which she performs — nominated for Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY, the gifted young singer returns with a new single, “He’s Gone.”

Following the fall release of her nod to '80s bluegrass, “Looking for Yourself,” this gospel song foreshadows the upcoming Easter holiday with a simple recounting of the Resurrection that surrounds Roberts’ voice with classic bluegrass gospel call-and-response harmonies from Ricky Skaggs and Sharon and Cheryl White

“As the songs were coming together for my new album,” says Roberts, “I was still in need of a gospel song to record, so I reached out to my very dear friend and mentor, Kelsi Harrigill, to see if she had written anything recently. She sent a few songs to me that I really liked but none of them felt like ‘the one.’ However, a few days later, while she was vacuuming, she was inspired to write the song ‘He’s Gone,’ and I knew after the first listen that it was absolutely the one for me to record. This gospel song tells the incredible story of how Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose again – ‘Praise God the tomb’s empty, He’s gone.'” 

“I am so happy that I got to record this special song and thrilled to be joined by amazing musicians: Ron Block (banjo), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Cody Kilby (guitar), Andy Leftwich (mandolin), Justin Moses (dobro), and Byron House (bass/producer). To top it off and make a dream come true, three very special people in my life came to the studio to sing with me — Sharon White SkaggsCheryl White Jones, and Ricky Skaggs — and I feel very blessed and honored to have their voices on ‘He’s Gone.’

“I love this song very much,” Roberts concludes, "and I am thankful for the message of ‘He’s Gone.’ I hope that each of you will love it, too!”

 "He's Gone" is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL. Listen to it HERE.

About Jaelee Roberts
Though she’s in her early 20s, Music City native and reigning IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Jaelee Roberts, is already more than a little familiar with — and to — the music industry. Born to veteran music professionals, she grew up backstage at the Grand Ole Opry and in the middle of rehearsals, business meetings and recording sessions, along with plenty of festivals and concerts. Roberts got her start singing in church at a very early age and began her journey as an instrumentalist at age 4 with fiddle lessons; since then, she has added guitar, mandolin and piano to her musical arsenal. Jaelee participated in and won numerous music and dance competitions, but as she began her teen years, she found herself drawn more to performance than competition. Soon, she was attracting attention for her rich voice and interpretative ability, recording not only with her father, the Grascals’ Danny Roberts, but with the Tom T. and Dixie Hall-backed Daughters of Bluegrass. By the time she finished high school, she’d been chosen in two consecutive years as a vocal track participant in the industry-leading GRAMMY Camp. Jaelee was an official Bluegrass Ramble Showcase artist at IBMA’s World of Bluegrass in 2019 as well as being a 2020 IBMA Songwriter Showcase artist. In 2021, Jaelee signed with Mountain Home Music Company, was invited to join the multi-award winning, all-female supergroup Sister Sadie on guitar and vocals and received the IBMA Momentum Vocalist of the Year and IBMA Vocal Group of the Year awards. By 2022, she had released her debut full-length album Something You Didn’t Count On which became an immediate commercial and critical success. The album debuted in the Top Ten on the Billboard Bluegrass Album chart and peaked at #2 on the Bluegrass Unlimited album chart. The album won the 2023 Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA) Album of the Year award, and Jaelee was also named Female Vocalist of the Year. In September of 2023, Jaelee made her solo debut at the Grand Ole Opry.
