Hey!
Is your guitarist sick?
Did they quit the band a week before heading into the studio?
Do you have a one-off gig, project, or short tour you need a guitarist for? A wedding? Funeral?
My name is Jesse. I've been playing for about 20 years now, with heaps of experience writing, recording, gigging, and touring. I'm a fast learner, hate rockstar attitudes, and love making the whole band sound incredible.
My preferences are typically in heavier, edgier genres. I played in punk bands for years before moving onto metal, hardcore, post-hardcore and noise rock, and also short stint as a one-off, poppier but grimy synth-driven dance punk project. I also spent years and years in a super diverse garage/psych/synth pop/singer-songwriter band as a cowriter and lead guitarist. Think Sharon Van Etten meets Cocteau Twins meets Ty Segall meets Orville Peck, that was it.
I'd love to jump in for projects that are more aligned with some of the sounds I've mentioned above there, but I'm also very keen to help out on any kind of pop, folk, Americana, country, rock/classic rock, disco, whatever. Can't do jazz though.
Here are some links for past projects:
Guitar: https://delusionbaymusic.bandcamp.com (I have other unreleased and really great sounding recordings from this project that I'd love to send you if you want to hear them)
Guitar and vocals: https://coyotee.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-stories
Right now I'm using a jazzmaster/firebird weirdo custom build from Fairline guitars; it's got a great pickup configuration that can do sorta everything from very smooth and mellow nice clean tones to nasty fuzz and distortion. I've got a few pedals as well that can give you all the indie and garage and psych and metal and spaced out sounds you need.
Message me on here, or reach out on insta at @_jjjesse. I think Bandcamp makes you pay to message people or something so eff that.
Can't wait to hear from you!
