About the artists
Jesse Witney is touring his latest body of work 'Animal Cities', an eclectic 11 track album recorded between Melbourne and Rio de Janeiro. Mixing soul, roots and Brazilian influences, Jesse's performances are intricate, intimate, courageous and enlivening. Festival highlights include Woodford Folk Festival, Splendour in the Grass and his music has been played on JJJ, Radio National, PBS and RAGE. His live show includes guitar wizardry on the Nylon and Electric guitar, feet beats with his own invention ‘The Dance Box’, harmonica, melodica and looping, topped off with a voice akin to Jeff Buckley and Paulo Nutini. When Jesse plays, you want to lean in, listen deep and sip on some old-fashioned truth with him. A Jesse Witney live show is very good medicine.
