One of the joys of meeting fellow travelers along the road is to solidify the bonds of friendship. Jesse Terry has found that bond in Oregon musician Tyler Fortier. Friends tend to each other in this, not easy, lifestyle and step up as needed.
MEET JESSE TERRY
Tyler Fortier hooked me up with Jesse recently. And I thank him for it deeply. I loosely think of it as “blind date”, or at the very least, a “blind conversation”. You never now how these things will turn out, but it was time spent very well. Philosophical meanderings about how we find our path, how we live our daily life, what’s important, and finally digging into those pesky songwriting “how-to’s. Letting go of what we may have learned about the craft and letting the muse sail us on!
Jesse Terry is a singer/songwriter with an uncanny ability to weave tales of travel and homecoming, of sorrow and of redemption, into songs that are simultaneously timeless and fresh. Home is now the coastal village of Stonington, Connecticut, but Terry’s music reflects an amalgam of influences, from Nashville to Laurel Canyon. His melodic and lyrically-driven Americana fits naturally on a playlist between cuts from Josh Ritter, Jackson Browne, Ryan Adams and Neil Young.
