I live in Boise, Idaho, where I write songs, run a recording studio, and compose for film. I’ve released several albums, including Next Town’s Trees and the follow up EP Artifacts of Water.

“There’s a slice of majesty in ‘Fire’ — a window into the world of a Boise trabadour and the opening song on ‘Next’s Town Trees’. Yep, it is that good and it may just be the start of your love affair for this brilliant artist.”
“I wrote these songs during a time of immense change in my life: I was finally leaving the church, uncovering my sexuality, starting my first relationship with a man, figuring out joy in sobriety, and settling into my life as a musician,” he says. Jesse explores themes of modern identity and self discovery with a poet’s eye for detail. His acute observations are capable of catharsis and comfort during dark times.
I run Mixed Metaphor, a recording studio in Boise Idaho. I’ve produced a catalog of indie rock, americana, shoegaze, folk, and country. The space is warm and inviting - its a place where every artist feels safe and empowered to make their best work.
I compose for film and write original film scores. Recent projects include the award-winning feature film Stockton to Table Rock, produced by Lower Gentry Studios. It was featured at Filmfort, Wyoming International Film Fest and several other festivals in 2024. My second feature film score is completed and will hit festivals in 2025 - it’s an as-yet-to-be-announced film in partnership with Boise Contemporary Theatre. Boise Contemporary Theatre.
