"It is easy to compare Terry?s heritage and storytelling to that of Jackson Browne, James Taylor or Bruce Springsteen.. A symphonic delight for the heart and soul." (Americana UK 9/10)
Whatever magic potion the troubadours in Laurel Canyon were sipping on in 1971, Jesse Terry has managed to track it down and take a deep gulp. Now on his seventh album, When We Wander, Terry performs his beautifully crafted songs to around 150 audiences a year from Bonnaroo to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the 30A Song-writers Festival to Americana Fest.
Recorded live, "When We Wander" prioritises emotion and raw performances over perfection. "In Spite of You" recalls his stay in a residential facility for behaviour modification that traumatized him as a young teenager: "The sermons that you sold me all were fakes". Yet he emerged to earn a degree from Berklee College of Music, net a five-year staff writer gig on Nashville's Music Row penning material for major TV networks, and win prestigious songwriting awards.. And then to become the singer-songwriter his countless fans know today, who (in the words of Music News Nashville), "bring[s] to mind iconic artist/poets like Paul Simon and Jackson Browne.... [with] a performance that touches the heart like only a whisper can."
Support comes from Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emma Stevens, a regular on the British airwaves with Radio 2 playlisting tracks from both her debut album ?Enchanted? and 2014?s ?Waves?.
