Jessie Dee with DJ Sir Round Sound

Boston’s Jesse Dee is a singing, song?writing, guitar?playing soul man — a modern day trailblazer inspired by the old school. Dee's passion is exploring and updating soul music for contemporary audiences. With his warm and honest sound, his instantly memorable melodies, and positive, slice-of-life lyrics (evoking the heyday of the Brill Building songwriters), he accomplishes just that. His inventive, hook-filled songs are delivered with buoyant, youthful exuberance. An electric, free night of music. Bring some food if you like, libations will be available for purchase. All are welcome!

FREE SHOW!
