To Jesse Ray Smith, home is in the heart of California, as if raised by a family of tumbleweeds along Interstate 5, forever rolling with the Santa Ana winds. In his voice you hear the dust from the highway and the yearning of an old soul seeking redemption under the endless power lines. Jesse is a singer-songwriter, a husband and a father, dedicated to the pursuit of crafting timeless songs and records with his longtime writing partners Sean Cox Briar (Guitar) & John Varn (Keys).
His brand of Modern Americana blends current indie folk flavors with southern & heartland rock sounds of the past, harkening artists such as Bob Segar, Chris Stapleton, and Tom Petty, but also courageously exploring a deeper songbook, at times akin to Paul Simon and CSNY. On his 2023 album 'Back to Yesterday', produced by 2023 Grammy Winning Producer Tyler Chester (Best Folk Album), Jesse's top shelf band of road weathered Bay Area players delivers a unique experience best described as "Heartland Rock with Heartbreak Soul".
