   About Jesse Ruben


Jesse Ruben's musical education began at the early age of six. A fourth-generation musician, his family immersed him in music since before he could walk; he started piano lessons at age seven and continued for nine more years. It wasn't until his father bought him a $99 beginner guitar at age sixteen that he really connected to an instrument. Heavily influenced by classic singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, Jesse started playing constantly, and writing his own music. As an adult, he furthered his education at Berklee College of Music, where he excelled in the Songwriting department, and was chosen as a finalist for the school’s songwriting competition in his last three semesters.

In January of 2008, Jesse released his debut album “Aiming for Honesty” which was recorded over a two week period in Atlanta with producer Clay Cook (John Mayer, Marshall Tucker Band). What followed was a trio of sold out CD release shows in Philadelphia (World Café Live), New York (The Bitter End), and Boston (The Paradise Lounge). The album received major radio airplay on both college and commercial stations, including a live broadcast on NPR, and heavy rotation on the XM station “The Loft”. The first single, “A Lack of Armor” was a finalist in the 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest as well as the 2008 New York Songwriter’s Circle Contest.

Despite being enrolled as a full time student, Jesse toured relentlessly across the northeast, building a strong and dedicated following. Since graduating in May of 2008, he has promoted “Aiming for Honesty” from coast to coast in both the United States and Canada. Combining influences from pop, rock, jazz, and folk, Jesse’s straight-from-the-heart songs and hilarious storytelling make for an unforgettable live experience for his listeners.
