JUNO Award–winning guitarist Jesse Cook brings his intoxicating blend of nuevo flamenco, rumba, jazz, and global rhythms to the HOPE Center for the Arts. Renowned for his lightning-fast precision, lush melodic sensibility, and genre-bending imagination, Cook has sold more than 1.5 million albums worldwide and built a devoted international following. His music bridges continents—Mediterranean textures, Latin grooves, and modern jazz harmonies—woven together into a sound unmistakably his own.
Onstage, Cook transforms technical mastery into pure emotion. His concerts move like a journey: intimate, reflective passages that dissolve into exhilarating, full-throttle ensemble moments. Expect soaring themes, hypnotic rhythms, and the kind of dynamic interplay that invites audiences to lean in one moment and dance in their seats the next. It’s instrumental storytelling at its most vivid—expressive, cinematic, and deeply alive.
At HOPE, that experience becomes even more immersive. Our intimate 500-seat theater, enveloping acoustics, and dynamic lighting design create the perfect environment to hear every nuance of his fingerstyle work. Each note feels close, detailed, and immediate—turning the performance into something both epic and personal.
Join us for an evening of extraordinary musicianship and global soundscapes as Jesse Cook brings his signature blend of passion, virtuosity, and boundless creativity to Springfield’s newest home for the arts.
