Jesse Roper

Based in Victoria, BC, Jesse Roper is a blues/Americana artist with a penchant for modern, indie-infused blues and delivering live performances driven by his virtuosic guitar playing. His innate and impressive musical talent has served him well, giving him the flexibility to play with Booker T. Jones, Colin James, Beth Hart, and Burton Cummings. The stage has been Roper’s home ever since he overcame crippling stage fright in his early twenties. Fear is a part of Roper’s past that barely seems real today—especially witnessing the in-concert image of him on a six-string, hair matted to his face, tearing up the stage without a hint of second-guessing.
