MUSIC: Jesse Roper

Description

Jesse Roper, a blues/Americana artist from Victoria, BC, is known for his modern indie-infused blues and captivating live performances, driven by his virtuosic guitar skills. Overcoming stage fright in his early twenties, he has since performed with legendary musicians like Booker T. Jones, Colin James, Beth Hart, and Burton Cummings. Roper’s latest album, Horizons, marks a high point in his career, created with JUNO-nominated producer Gus van Go. His upcoming LP features energetic and soulful tracks like “Make It All Work Out,” which gained radio attention in 2023. The second single, “Throw This Rope,” is inspired by Roper’s frustration with unsolicited advice from people with little understanding of the music industry. Known for his personal storytelling, Roper’s songwriting blends life’s challenges with upbeat, engaging narratives. His adventurous spirit and unique expression ensure his music continues to evolve and captivate listeners.
