Jesse Ray Smith is a 2026 Nominated Best Americana Artist at the SDMAs and a soulful Americana singer-songwriter, capable of engaging a room as a solo act with his acoustic guitar and harmonicas. He can perform with his awesome 6pc band or any combination preferred. Jesse's 2023 original album 'Back To Yesterday' was nominated for an SDMA for 'Best Americana Album' and Jesse performs across the country and locally in clubs like The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach & Bob Weir's Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA. Original music is Jesse's passion, but his extensive cover catalog of classics and modern sing-alongs are called upon for roughly 75 private and corporate parties every year. His catalog ranges from Chis Stapleton to Bob Marley to The Eagles and The Lumineers and can keep a crowd going for hours. Jesse has all his own gear to put on a show of any size, solo acoustic or with his full band of tastefully soulful musicians. Thanks for your time and consideration!
