Jesa

Jesa brings jazz-rooted songwriting to Copper Bar at Band on the Wall, a concert and performance venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter. The music draws on folk, rock and ambient colour.

Jesa writes, produces and sings, and plays several instruments, building a distinctive sound on jazz roots. The music takes inspiration from the work of Esperanza Spalding, Joni Mitchell, Prince and Samora Pinderhughes, and stays close to personal feeling. Jesa's deep, soothing voice moves between warm and sombre moods.

Following the debut EP FACES, released in 2023, Jesa has made connections on the London and Paris scenes. The first album, Broken Shell, is forthcoming. Through experimental, raw and intimate songwriting, jazz roots meet folk, rock and ambient textures, shaping a colourful and uncompromising body of work in which the music carries a liberating force.

Copper Bar is the concert space within Band on the Wall, a concert and performance venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter. The evening suits listeners drawn to personal songwriting with jazz roots and folk, rock and ambient colour.
