Jesse Waldman & Marc L’Esperance

Jesse Waldman’s bluesy, roots-driven sound reflects his deep connection to the city and its diverse culture. His songs tell stories of the streets, people, and places that define Vancouver’s creative heart. Each element plays a part in how he articulates something profound and universal, enigmatic and joyful. His songs often take flight after quiet, introspective nights and curiosity-filled days;  his signature is that of a songwriter exceptionally unafraid to wear their heart on their sleeve. As an accomplished and intuitive lead guitarist, Jesse delights audiences with refined, effortless technique, a wide range of styles, and dynamic improvisations. https://jessewaldmanmusic.com/  *New Album Sept 20, 2024

“Whether he’s banging out the blues on his 1959 Harmony Stratotone Jupiter or crooning an acoustic-folk tune, Jesse Waldman never sounds like he’s doing anything other than baring his soul.”

— John Lucas, Mike Usinger – The Georgia Straight

Marc L’Esperance, producer / engineer / musician and the percussive man in this duo. Marc’s own Heavyosonic World Headquarters is busy and meanwhile these outstanding ears are of the super kind. He’s got 30+ years in both live and studio production and engineering, which started in 1989 at Mushroom Studios in Vancouver. Whether engineer, producer, or batting the drums on Jesse’s winning projects, Marc could be part Bat and part Dolphin with his developed talents and unsparing hearing. And who doesn’t want to be on the other end of a good listener! https://www.instagram.com/marc.l.esperance/
