Jesse Terry - Having always loved Christmas music, Jesse's new Christmas album "Peace" was made even more special by becoming a family affair - Michael Terry, Jesse's father, a longtime professional musician / producer, was brought on as co-producer and handled the vocal arrangements. His wife Jess took the photos included in the album packaging, many of which feature Jesse and Jess's daughter who many people will recognize from the weekly "Live from the Lily Pad" concerts. Jesse plays over 150 shows a year, from Bonnaroo to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the 30A Songwriters Festival to AmericanaFest. His lyrical mastery, emotional depth, and soothing voice have often been compared to the likes of Jackson Browne, Jason Isbell, Paul McCartney and James Taylor. The Grand Prize winner of The John Lennon Songwriting Contest and The CMT/NSAI Song Contest, he has garnered worldwide acclaim including an official endorsement by Stonebridge Guitars International.
