Jesse's songs and intense, personal performances evoke a broad range of human experience. Having written his first songs while spending time in jail for marijuana possession, many of his songs from the period expressed the dark emotions he felt dealing with his situation as a prisoner.
Although Jesse's songs have always been unique and well-crafted, the recordings that have been produced were not always faithful to the original songwriter's vision. "This time the stars have aligned," Jesse says of the soon-to-be released material.
"My newest songs really seem to affect people," Jesse says of his forthcoming album. "I think that's what I've always wanted to accomplish, to write a song that could really make you feel something."
Jesse is currently very busy recording his fourth full-length album, which should see nationwide distribution (a first).
Jesse is also still celebrating the birth of his second son Davis with the love of his life, photographer Kyana Taillon.
Jesse Goplen is a member of American Federation of Musicians Local 292 (AFL-CIO), Santa Rosa.
I should probably mention that my dad is Dave Goplen, a talented bassist in Madison, Wisconsin who currently performs with Clyde Stubblefield's band.
