Jesse MacLeod has been given the gift a naturally distinctive, soulful voice. Being the son of bluesman Doug MacLeod, he began absorbing the sound of the blues at a young age. Vinyl records of artists like Albert King, Muddy Waters and Son House played regularly through the stereo of his childhood home, this influence is clearly apparent in him today. Also heavily influenced by contemporary folk artists such as Amos Lee and Ryan Adams, he has carved out a unique sound blending the best of today and yesterday.

Jesse has performed live in some of the premier singer/songwriter venues in Los Angeles including the Hotel Cafe, WitZend and Room 5. He has had the honor of receiving the award of Best Performer in the Westcoast Songwriters February 2009 Songwriter Competition in Hollywood and was a Top Three Male Finalist in the 2009 So Cal Music Live Competition. He has released two commercial recordings; In Between Homes (2010) and Red Flags(2012). “As The Summer Wanes” from the In Between Homes EP was featured on an episode of the second season of NBC’s The Voice.
