When are you coming back to Oregon - we loved you and want all of our friends to come hear you sing!
A
not soon enough cathy!! I'm totally in love with Oregon and the people. I think if my wife saw Cannon Beach it would be all over:) thank you so much for the kind words.. Oregon has a special place in my heart now and I'm already starting to think about when I can return!! and then the booking begins:) if you know of any house concert friends or great listening rooms I'd love to get in touch with those folks! do you own a coffee house?
cheers and love! jesse
How old were you when you knew this would be your goal in life?
A
hey hey!! I was a late bloomer musically.. I always sang growing up but my focus was really fine art until I was 19. When I was 19 my mom loaned me her guitar and the rest is history. I fell in love with the guitar and songwriting.. mainly songwriting and the healing nature of it. Such an amazing form of expression. All the best to you!! Thanks for joining the email list.. Feel free to drop me a line anytime: terry.jesse@gmail.com
cheers, jesse
Is the "blue-eyed cowgirl" referring to your wife?
A
maybe that was a bit of a prophetic line:) I wrote that about two years before we met.. and she's not a cowgirl.. but she truly has some of the most stunning baby blues you've ever seen!!
A
wow, hardest question EVER!! hmmm, maybe "God Only Knows" by Beach Boys.. or "Thunder Road" by Springsteen.. or "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" by Jimmy Webb.. or "American Tune" by Paul Simon.. those are just a few on my mind this morning.. perfect lyrics and melody!!
what about you? what are your faves??
A
Oh I know!!! I miss Oz so much I can't even tell you.. The chances are 100% that I'll come back over I just don't know when yet. The long term goal for me is to live in Oz or NZ and tour in US, NZ and Oz.. like Brooke Fraser does.. that's the dream!! Best to you.. keep in touch:)
love jesse

hey man! yeah, I'll likely be in Nashville for a big telethon.. it's not confirmed yet so I can't post it yet on my site.. and then I'll be in Nashville for all of November making a record and playing shows. I lived there for 7 years but my wife and I just moved to NYC area in march.. love both places. Do you play a lot in Nash?
