The ‘Türkmenistan’ cinema and concert hall hosted a sold-out concert by American country rock singer Jessica Lynn, organised with the support of the US Embassy in Turkmenistan and the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This was reported by the online publication ‘Turkmenistan: Golden age’.

Before the performance, the musicians held a press conference where Jessica talked about her creative career. She noted that although she grew up in New York, where country music is not the most popular genre, her father instilled in her a love for this music. In its 10 years of existence, the band has performed in 20 countries, and Turkmenistan has become a new and warm discovery for them, particularly impressing them with the cleanliness and beauty of Ashgabat.

A special moment of the evening was Jessica's reunion with her student, Turkmen musician Dovran Shammyev, who trained at her online academy. Their joint performance of a medley of hits by Duffy, Amy Winehouse and Ray Charles was met with thunderous applause from the audience.

The concert turned into a real celebration, with the audience dancing in the aisles and Jessica keeping up their energetic mood by accompanying them on the drums. The evening ended with a joint performance with the famous Turkmen jazz singer Maysa Niyazova, who performed Shania Twain's hit song.

Jessica Lynn's concert was a highlight of Turkmenistan's cultural life, strengthening the creative ties between the two countries.
