Live Music: Jesse Roper

A soul artist known for his modern indie-infused blues music and explosive live performances, showcasing his virtuosic guitar skills. His impressive talent has led him to share stages with legends like Booker T. Jones, Colin James, Beth Hart, and Burton Cummings. Though he once battled stage fright, Roper now commands the stage with fearless intensity, delivering powerful performances that leave a lasting impression. His album *Horizons*, produced by JUNO-nominated Gus van Go, marked a creative high, and his latest single, “Make It All Work Out,” offers a fresh, soulful sound inspired by JJ Cale, Leon Bridges, and Alabama Shakes while staying true to his unique style. Bold and boundlessly creative, Roper is a guitar-wielding dynamo whose music is as adventurous as it is unforgettable.
