Jesse Welles (US)

Born in Arkansas, Jesse Welles carries on the tradition of American songwriting without ever succumbing to nostalgia. With his guitar riffs and incisive lyrics, he transforms current events into powerful songs that blend folk, americana and rock. Having first come to prominence in 2024 through his filmed performances in the forest, and then receiving four Grammy Award nominations in 2026, he returns with "Masks Off", a spirited album aimed at all those who feel the pressure of a ruthless society, yet still hold out hope for the future!
