Hollywood, CA – Cultivator of rock Americana, singer-performer Jesse Payne has announced that he is wrapping up work on a new CD. The EP is scheduled for a winter release and will offer a preview of even more audio goodies to come with a full-length effort set to hit the streets in Spring 2008.
Live performances are slated this fall to precede the release of the new music and booking for his 2008 tour is under way.
Payne has opened for Peter Walker, The Gabe Dixon Band, Tilly and The Wall, David Mead, World Leader Pretend, Dick Dale and a plethora of other artists. His music has been tapped for release on national CD compilations and has been reviewed in The Big Takeover magazine. Payne has also made television appearances.
Payne says one big reason for his musical motivation is its singular ability to unite people across time and keep those things we value most alive.
“The one vehicle humans have that allows us to transcend the elements of time is a melody,” he says. “Music attaches us to our memories and gives us the freedom to imagine.”
Payne’s songwriting is influenced by such things as his childhood, traveling the United States, great poetry, loved ones, cinematography, nature and self-exploration.
Got some great video! I haven't been able to dump it on DVD yet though. I have to buy a firewire card for the brand new computer I just bought! Grrrr! and then I had flat tires twice this week, so I had to go buy new tires. (there is something weird going on in the universe for me!) Hopefully I can get it all downloaded this weekend. Great show, by the way! After I get it on DVD, we can meet and I'll give you those ties and jackets too. and the Dylan book.
Well back in 1932, when me and the rest of my clan had settled on little piece of heaven we liked to call "land where our house sits", things started getting veerrryy interesting. If you know what I mean.......
