Jesse Peters
Jesse Peters has been a force in the Canadian music scene since 1998. While still in high school, he garnered rave reviews as a singer and songwriter from distinguished jazz artists Ingrid Jensen and Diana Krall. By the age of 21, his group, The Peters Drury Trio, had released two critically acclaimed recordings. Under the name of funk/soul artist Paramedic, Jesse’s CD, Love, Doubt and Soul was nominated Urban Recording of the Year at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards.
Jesse’s newest album Face Time , recorded live-off-the-floor at Edmonton’s Winspear Centre, embraces a vocal driven mix of original and standard tunes filled with energy, innovation, scope, and range. From an ethereal falsetto that captures a fragility and depth of vocal colour to a cheeky commentary on our all-consuming digital world; from classic swing to energetic romps, Jesse has crafted a seasoned set of tunes, rick and full bodied.
In concert, Jesse and his trio traverse a musical path of originals written over the past ten years and classics that give wing to his vocal range. Audience engaging and musically captivating.
“The style and flair of this young cat, coupled with a polished songwriting sense, ensures that we'll be hearing an awful lot about Jesse Peters if there's any justice in the world.”
