This season’s finale is Canada's "one of a kind" blues woman Jesse Greene, who will rock the place with her no-nonsense blues mix of originals and creative covers.
🎶
You could easily assume that she grew up near Memphis, or maybe as far away as Texas, for when she plays it sounds like she is channeling old Eddy "Cleanhead Vinson." Singing with the "smoky timbre of Bonnie Raitt" and "the wonderful raspiness of Janis Joplin," the Jesse Greene Band won the Ottawa Road to Memphis competition and were finalists at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
🎹
Based now in Toronto, where she took the city by storm and was awarded the 2024 Amy Louie Grossmans music scholarship for artist development, Jesse is ready to show us her sweeter side in a solo set with original tunes, still featuring her monster guitar chops.
🎼
" From Blues and Rock n' Roll to cosmic Soul from beyond... Jesse Greene and her band make my big toe shoot right out of my boot. These guys rock, period."
- Tony D, Canadian Blues Ace and founding member of the acclaimed Ottawa based band "Monkeyjunk"
