With several European and Asian tours, multiple Canadian tours, a highly successful Public Television Special, and a recent five-month U.S. tour under his belt, award-winning guitar phenomenon Jesse Cook will bring �The Blue Guitar Tour� to a close in March of 2014.

Released in September 2012, The Blue Guitar Sessions is Jesse Cook�s eighth studio album - a captivating 14-track album recorded on a pair of vintage microphones, which he had exhaustively searched for to replicate the mood of recordings from the Miles Davis era.

�I wanted to make a record that was more personal�, says Cook. �Something intimate with more space to it than my previous work, the kind of music that I would want to listen to after midnight. I guess you could call it my grown-up album.�

The live shows will include songs from his more familiar work as well as material from the new album. Joining Cook on stage are the musicians that have become as familiar to fans as Cook himself: Chris Church, Rosendo �Chendy� Leon, Nicholas Hernandez and Dennis Mohammed.

�What I found is that the longer the five of us played together, we really gelled and had a sense of what our domains were,� says Cook. �Each member grew within their domain to make it something really big. We all learned to fill our space.�
