   About Jesse Rubenfeld
Jesse Rubenfeld was still a student at the University of Pennsylvania in 2001 when a once in a lifetime opportunity came his way. Aspiring singer-songwriters everywhere would love the chance to take a master class from one of their musical heroes—in Rubenfeld’s case, the legendary Billy Joel—but few possess the kind of courage the young singer and pianist summoned when he took the stage before Joel and 1,200 others and performed “A Friend In Bill” as a tribute to the Piano Man. Joel dug it, everyone stood and cheered and Rubenfeld thought to himself, “I could definitely do this every day and get used to it!” A few short years later, the Houston bred, New York based artist is fulfilling the great potential of that moment, performing regular gigs with his band all over Manhattan, from legendary venues like The Bitter End to The Triad, Don Hill’s and Rockwood Music Hall. Recently, many fans have been receiving a special gift with their cover charge: a copy of his new four song EP Let It Go, a powerful and emotionally honest, piano and retro keyboard (Rhodes, Hammond B-3) driven portrait of the emerging singer-songwriter as he continues working on his upcoming full length debut album, tentatively due in mid-2008. Let It Go is currently available via outlets like iTunes, CD Baby and emusic, and will also be featured on Lime Wire’s currently in development online music store. Rubenfeld’s ultra cool “day job” for the past two years has been Chief Financial Officer for the file sharing software giant. It’s the perfect place to merge his musical passions—which began with an incredible 12 years of classical piano training—and his strong business acumen, while also putting his business degree to work. While the Joel influence is prevalent throughout Let It Go, Rubenfeld draws inspiration from a multitude of legendary and contemporary singer-songwriters (from The Eagles to Maroon 5, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to John Legend) in crafting infectious, lingering melodies and straight from the heart lyrical statements about romantic relationships and the pursuit of dreams. The wistful piano and vocal title track directly reflects Rubenfeld’s feelings about his craft and career, but could easily apply to a romantic relationship at a crossroads; it ponders the eternal question, are we in over our heads? Should we hang on and fight or give up and let things go? Fortunately for a musical world in need of originality and truthful songwriting, Rubenfeld sticks with it, confirming his powerful work ethic on the dynamic, uptempo pop tune “Nose To The Grindstone,” which features the kind of lush, Eaglesque, CSNY type harmonies that will continue to pepper future recordings. Those harmonies also drive the chorus of “Elinor,” a more acoustic based tune that typifies Rubenfeld’s sweetly romantic side, complete with cello and mandolin touches. Finally, the passionate ballad “I Know” is about the frustration of dealing with a lover who’s not communicating her true feelings and trying to overcome that emotional distance. While Rubenfeld loves the thrill of communicating with his audience in the live setting, his ultimate goal is to write songs like his musical heroes do, ones that resonate on such a universal level that everyone in the world knows them. To that end, he is always seeking other quality songwriters to collaborate with on pieces that will resemble his previous work but also help him grow as an artist on future projects.

Hello my new friend, Jesse! I came to learn more about you, and was caught up in your music... Guess you don't need a Muse? Do you write your own lyrics? Your Voice is clear and vibrant. While I can detect some of those who have influenced you, your sound is all your own. The mark of a true artist. Happy New Year! Heather Emelin, Muse
