Singer, songwriter, guitarist Jesse Dee is a man with a big heart and an old soul. 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.
“Tough-but-tender soul and rollicking, rootsy R&B…infectious, revival-meeting furor” –Boston Globe
