ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Jesse Ray Smith is a singer-songwriter from San Diego, CA with a sound that resonates through generations of Americana, blending classic and contemporary melodies and arrangements. His recent release, ‘Back to Yesterday,’ produced by 2023 Grammy Winning Producer Tyler Chester explores the kind of alternative Heartland rock/Americana of Summerteeth era Wilco, the pristine vocal harmonies of Fleet Foxes “Back to Yesterday”

His brand of modern americana blends current indie folk flavors with southern rock sounds of the past, harkening artists such as Bob Segar, Chris Stapleton, and Ray Lamontagne, but also courageously exploring a deeper songbook, at times akin to Paul Simon and CSNY.
