Artist Information
Singer, songwriter, guitarist Jesse Dee is a man with a big heart and an old soul.
“Explosive," “fervent,” and “infectious” are the kinds of words people typically reach for when trying to describe the power of his live performances. Regardless of whether he's fronting a raucous band or stripping it down to the raw immediacy of a solo performance, Dee's passion for updating soul music for modern audiences shines through. Amidst a long list of influences, classic soul and R&B artists such as Solomon Burke, Sam Cooke, and Otis Redding notably stand out. With a warm and honest sound, memorable melodies, and positive slice-of-life lyrics, he keeps a growing fan base coming back for more.
Dee has opened for legendary performers Al Green, Etta James, and Bettye LaVette, as well as modern-day masters, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and The James Hunter Six.
With his latest album, “On My Mind, In My Heart”, Dee is poised to break into the minds and hearts of music lovers everywhere.
“Tough-but-tender soul and rollicking, rootsy R&B...infectious, revival-meeting furor” –Boston Globe
“ Jesse Dee delivers authenticity in every note.” -- San Francisco Chronicle
“ Dee doesn’t sound like anybody singing soul music today or yesterday. Honey-coated, pure,searing soul, testifyin’ ballads, and upbeat anthems.”
