Jesse Roper Releases His Latest Single “Way Down In The Valley”
Jesse Roper, a blues/Americana artist writing modern indie-infused blues music, released the single “Way Down In The Valley.”
Victoria, BC-based singer/guitarist Jesse Roper has released his single, “Way Down In The Valley.” Roper is a blues/Americana artist with a penchant for writing modern indie-infused blues music and delivering bombastic live performances buoyed by his virtuosic guitar playing.
“Way Down In The Valley” is a song about the house that Jesse lives in. It started as a classic rock song and evolved into a funky, soulful tune with the help of JUNO-nominated producer Gus van Go (Metric, Arkells, Sam Roberts, Whitehorse).
Jesse Roper remarks on the inspirations behind the track:
“I’ve wanted to live in this valley since I was a little kid. I still can’t believe I actually live here. The ground grows tasty vegetables. The deer, wolves, bears, cougars and even the odd elk roam the surrounding hills. There’s old growth trees and the smell of the ocean freshens it up around here year round. I’m truly lucky to call this place my home.”
Roper’s latest releases are energetic, fresh, soulful and R&B-inspired tracks from a forthcoming LP that harkens the voices of JJ Cale, The Teskey Brothers, Leon Bridges, and Ben Harper – while maintaining Roper’s strong and unique expression in the genre. Jesse is a master at connecting his personal story and experiences to his songwriting, crafting narratives that hit on life’s challenges and eccentricities but remain upbeat, engaging and wildly entertaining songs.
