Recommendations for Jesse Terry
February, 2024 - "When I booked Jesse I knew we were going to hear some great music. But what I didn’t anticipate — and what really made the evening special — was the human being behind the music. Over 50+ shows, I have seldom seen a performer so quickly establish such an easy rapport with an audience. He was charming, funny, sincere, and utterly captivating. Two songs in, he had everyone in the palm of his hand. By the end of the evening, he had a room full of new Jesse Terry fans. Rave reviews across the board!"

December, 2017 - "Jesse Terry is one of the favorite entertainers at The Music Room and never disappoints us. He was charming and sincere, as always, and this year he was able to include some Christmas songs that gave the evening a very warm and intimate feel. We were all pleased to hear songs from his latest CD Stargazer and many left with CD's in hand to listen to on the way home. It is always a pleasure to have Jesse play The Music Room and he has become a friend that is always welcome back."
(C. Teichman)
July, 2017 - "The first time Jesse performed in our series we were both in the emerging stage. I think there were 7 guests, and I was mortified. Last year's show sold out, and I couldn't fit another person in the room at today's show. When Jesse performs a house concert it's as though we're all friends hanging out in his living room. He performed brand new songs, old favorites, and an unusual amount of covers and no one complained because it was that kind of afternoon. We love being his road family!"
(L. Bolton)
April, 2017 - "Jesse presented a wonderful show for our audience of 21 on a Friday evening in our living room. He was warm, friendly and very conversational with our crowd, often explaining the stories behind the songs and responding to comments from attendees. Many loved his performance and those responding to our post-concert survey have rated him a very solid 4.0 on our 1 to 5 scale (with 5 being the best score). If there's a more easy-going artist out there, I haven't met him or her yet! :-)"
(C. Moore)
October, 2016 - "We waited three years for Jesse's return and it was well worth the wait! Several first timers and our faithful regulars enjoyed an epic afternoon of song and stories. Whether playing for 7, 70, or 700, Jesse is always simply happy to play, period. He loves house concerts, loves sharing his stories, loves collaborating with other performers and gives 100% at every show. Honored to be his Jersey Mama!"
(L. Bolton)
July, 2016 - "Finally, we got our chance to host Jesse at the Little Courtyard! We have enjoyed him in other venues, and he and I have danced around trying to get a show arranged and finally, FINALLY, we made it happen, and OH, what a great night!
It was worth the wait! Our guests had such a wonderful time while he "tried on" some of his newly written material.
He is definitely the real deal, such a pro, but makes it seem effortless.
Can't wait to see him again!!!!"

He is a complete package - excellent guitar skills, charisma, wonderful storyteller, beautiful singer. The audience, who did not know Jesse, was entranced. He further endeared himself by playing a requested James Taylor song flawlessly. His songs are rich lyrically and musically. While it is clear he was inspired by such greats as Jackson Brown, James Taylor and Neil Young, he is unique and unforgettable."

August, 2013 - "Jesse Terry is joy to know and is a true entertainment professional. Jesse has a beautiful voice, is a skilled guitar player and a gifted songwriter. His real strength is his ability to express his music, his story and his life through his exhuberant and joyful personality.

I recommend Jesse highly!!"
(M. New)
August, 2013 - "Jesse Terry's performance was inspiring. His writing is on par with the best artists I know in Nashville, and his playing and singing is also very strong. He engages the audience as well as any performer we've had with his stories and wit. Jesse had serious car trouble in the days leading up to the event, and even had to leave his car and rent one to make the show on time! Such dedication is appreciated. He and his wife were wonderful house guests - we'd have them back any time."
(D. Smith)
May, 2013 - "Jesse Terry, accompanied by his dad (Michael) on keyboard, delivered an upbeat and very entertaining show. Jesse mixed his 90-minute performance with previously recorded and brand new material, as well as a James Taylor and a Neil Young song (Harvest Moon). Jesse’s performance was energetic and lively and he shared the story behind several of his songs. Jesse’s performance was one of the better house concerts that I have hosted. I recommend him highly."
(R. Beliveau)
April, 2013 - "Jesse's talent is really incredible. His song lyrics were very clever and enjoyable, say nothing of his instrumental abilities on the guitar.

Choosing Jesse to open our new concert series was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He quickly endeared himself to all my guests, performed an incredible concert full of his amazing original songs, and even paid special attention to a young man with a talent for music. I would welcome Jesse Terry any time!"
(S. Newcomb)
March, 2013 - "Jesse is a very talented songwriter. Very nice mix of songs and a relaxed pacing of the show with great audience rapport. Response from guests was universally positive. Jesse has a fantastic voice that blends well with his guitar playing which is superb. He took time to meet with the audience before and after the show.
The set up and soundcheck was quick and painless. He's an easy guest to host and kept us posted on traffic delays prior to arrival."

Jesse's performance was that of a heartfelt singer-songwriter who has stories to share both in his music and with his dialog. They moved the audience with soulful vocals, beautiful guitar and warm piano as they shared their hearts through music. Book him if you can, a 10+ show."
(P. Kane)
August, 2011 - "Jesse is a blast - very talented, amazing vocals, guitar work, and songwriting. His bride to be and father were both there that night, so it was a night to remember. Based on the reviews I have read of other shows, I expect they are all nights to remember. His interaction with the crowd was classic - very funny and engaging artist. Book Jesse - you will love it!"
