A career spanning over 25 years has brought this Canadian guitarist multiple accolades, including a coveted Acoustic Guitar Magazine Player’s Choice Silver Award, 11 Juno Award nominations (he won for 2001’s "Free Fall"), a Gemini Award, and, most impressively, 10 platinum and gold studio albums.
Moreover, he has sold out concert halls worldwide, produced five PBS television specials, and five live CDs. Not a bad legacy for a guy who never planned to release an album.
"If you had asked me at age 22, I would have said that I would never, never make music for the public," Jesse Cook says with a laugh. "I would have told you that the public is much too fickle — they may love you one minute and forget you the next. Well, it turns out I did the thing I said I'd never do, and somehow it's worked out."
Jesse Cook, clearly, has many more years of memorable performances ahead of him.
