BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 TZ:-07 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Victoria Folk Music Society presents: Jesse Jessome Trio URL:http://www.harbourliving.ca/event/victoria-folk-music-society-presents-jesse-jessome-trio/ LOCATION:Norway House :: 1110 Hillside Ave Victoria, DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:

Jesse Jessome quite literally wears his heart on his sleeve. A decade after leaving Cape Breton to live in Victoria, he still wears a shirt he had specially tailored from material bearing the Cape Breton tartan. Yet his songs are only mildly influenced by the Celtic music that was everywhere when he was growing up near Sidney, Nova Scotia, on a street aptly named Celtic Drive. For while Jesse's style does incorporate some Celtic fingerpicking, he has added a healthy dose of country music and Delta blues to come up with a blend that is all his own. Jesse is currently recording his first album, which he hopes will be ready early in the new year.

Tonight Jesse is backed up by Bruce Cobanli on bass and backup vocals and Mike Sadava on mandolin, resophonic guitar, and backup vocals.

Our feature act will be preceded by what is arguably Victoria’s best weekly acoustic Open Stage session where musicians from fledglings to professionals can perform a 10 minute set for one of the most welcoming, attentive and participative audiences in town. Aspiring Open Stage performers can sign-up with the VFMS Host between 7:00 and 7:30pm to do a set but should get there early to improve their chances of getting on the evening’s line-up.
