InfluencesBob Dylan and Neil Young are long time influences, more recently, Greg Brown, and David Rovics, and living in Belize gets me a bit of the Reggae vibe from some of my favorites like Midnite and Dezarie. Also Spearhead and Michael Franti's works as well as hip hop like Dead Prez and Immortal Technique have been boomin' in my speakers.

   About Jes Karper
.

I'm a rambling blues and folk songwriter and string plucker, I've lived in Belize, Central America for 10 years. I'm originally from Pennsylvania, USA. My songs speak for my travels and experiences, which carry me to amazing, inspiring, and eye-opening places & through them I encounter awesome, courageous, interesting, & encouraging people. Some of my songs address the system & the many problems rising through its facade of democracy and its perpetuation of Plutocracy which is the ruling of the rich over the poor.....Music and song provide me with a way to express humor in life experience as well as encouragement to others in contemplation of Life, Love, God, and so many perspectives too difficult to communicate without these tools of poetry and melody.

if you would like to see some of my aquatic adventures check out my videos, mainly whitewater kayaking footage here on MySpace & at: jeskarper.org/Video.html

I know your somewhere better, but I'm throwin' it out anyway! If you happen to be in the Kentucky area around May 22nd, we're hosting a shin-dig of sorts. Theillalogicalspoon will be playin' and doin' some stuff. Soulmobile could possibly be comin', Porchfront might be there and who knows what we'll come up with between now and then! We recently bought 13 acres outside of Bowling Green (about 1 hour north of Nashville, TN) and are building a house. You should come visit! Lots and LOTS of places for your hammock! Campin, food eatin', music hearin', children lovin', fun time!
PASS IT ON!
P.S.
Even if you can't make it then, stop by if you are ever in the "neighborhood"!
