About

Jesse Roper

Jesse Roper is a modern-day troubadour; a Canadian artist defined by his authenticity and adventurous spirit; guitar in hand and a grin on his face. A master at connecting his personal experiences to his songwriting, he crafts wildly entertaining narratives of the challenges and eccentricities of life, pulling inspiration from all that surrounds him. His musings on love (both won and lost), the call of the road and the promise of what's round the corner draw similarities to JJ Cale, Leon Bridges, and Alabama Shakes. His innate musical talent and flexibility of style have seen him play with soul icon Booker T. Jones, rock veteran Colin James, blues belter Beth Hart, and Canadian legend Burton Cummings. Across streaming platforms, he’s racked up over 500,000 monthly listeners and more than 50 million streams.

His new EP Daisy Wake Up showcases more of Jesse’s fearless songwriting and vintage-tinged brand of Americana. Working once again with famed Juno-nominated producer Gus van Go (The Beaches, Sam Roberts Band, Arkells, The Stills), Jesse is set to release his next single on September 16th to as a sonic compliment to his May 2026 EP.
