“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.”

— MP3 Hugger

Next Town’s Trees is an 8 track album by Boise indie-folk musician, Jesse Blake Rundle, produced with bandmate and engineer, Nate Agenbroad.

“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.

Welcome to my website.

I write songs, score films, and make a lot of other art and I’m glad you’ve stumbled into it. In March 2023 I released my second album, Next Town’s Trees and the follow up EP Artifacts of Water. In 2024 the band will be playing a bunch of shows and getting a few new songs ready.

I also write original film scores. Recent projects include the feature film Stockton to Table Rock, produced by Lower Gentry Studios. And an as-yet-to-be-announced film in partnership with Boise Contemporary Theatre.

In addition to my songwriting, I run a studio on the Boise Bench called Mixed Metaphor Recording. Get in touch if you’d like to chat about music, film scoring, poetry, or anything else.
