Southern singer-songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist, Jesse Winchester weaves gospel, folk, blues, and country threads into graceful, intelligent music that reflects his origins in Louisiana, rural Mississippi, and Memphis. The author of classic songs like "Brand-New Tennessee Waltz" and "Yankee Lady," the longtime Montreal resident is famous for well-crafted tunes about small moments of deep feeling and mysteries of the spirit, which have been covered by the likes of The Everley Brothers, Jimmy Buffett, Joan Baez, and Emmylou Harris (to name but a few).

In concert and on albums like his recent Live from Mountain Stage and Defying Gravity, Jesse interprets his own wistful narratives with warm vocals and a low-key, contemporary folk style.
