Vibrant, and inventive Westchester, NY singer/songwriter Jesse Carsten makes utterly baffling myopic “rock” music (inward sparking), and has been doing so for several years. A Truly performative musician, producing startlingly jaunty punkish tunes (a guy in necessary denial, who likes grocery shopping ALOT) intoning pained melodic sounds meant to stir something strange in you.

From acapella songs about solitude, to electric jam-out band rants about Yoko's psychological positioning following John's death, Jesse's music's got it all! * This is all a lie (words can seem so meaningless). Jesse is really great though, you should go to his next show.
