Jesse Roper back in Europe for a string of shows around Reeperbahn Festival

Victoria, BC-based singer/guitarist Jesse Roper has released his single, “Way Down In The Valley.” Roper is a blues/Americana artist with a penchant for writing modern indie-infused blues music and delivering bombastic live performances buoyed by his virtuosic guitar playing.

“Way Down In The Valley” is a song about the house that Jesse lives in. It started as a classic rock song and evolved into a funky, soulful tune with the help of JUNO-nominated producer Gus van Go (Metric, Arkells, Sam Roberts, Whitehorse).
Roper’s latest releases are energetic, fresh, soulful and R&B-inspired tracks from a forthcoming LP that harkens the voices of JJ Cale, The Teskey Brothers, Leon Bridges, and Ben Harper – while maintaining Roper’s strong and unique expression in the genre. Jesse is a master at connecting his personal story and experiences to his songwriting, crafting narratives that hit on life’s challenges and eccentricities but remain upbeat, engaging and wildly entertaining songs.
