Jesse Terry at the Cranberry Coffeehouse
Jesse Terry is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, had a five-year staff writer gig on Nashville’s Music Row penning material for major TV networks, and has won prestigious songwriting awards. His seventh album, When We Wander, is the first he wrote since becoming a parent. So it’s no surprise the family theme courses through many of its 12 songs. He became a full-time touring artist a decade ago, and plays around 150 shows a year, from Bonnaroo to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, to AmericanaFest. When the pandemic canceled concerts and delayed the album’s release, he pivoted to performing online and found a strong new connection to his fans, who had helped fund his albums all along. He says that his livestream concerts have “become the highlight of my week and the thing that sustains us emotionally and financially. And an amazing community has sprung up from these concerts.”
