Jesse Chong Band

The alternative folk stylings of Jesse Chong are imbued with such hook one wonders how the music keeps from totally assimilating its listeners and forming a worldwide cult of Jesse Chong followers. Not that that would be such a bad thing. His music carries a bit of wry humor, a touch of the southwest and not a little melancholy. It touches gently on a variety of human emotions and eases the listener into a world of beauty and life.

“Good music brings me into the moment; it takes me from the grand illusion into the reality of now. Some would say that life all around is just one big dream and that nothing is real but this very moment. We’re not here to argue philosophy but it is true that Chong’s music strikes such a keen chord with the listener that an isolated sphere of reality is indeed created around the audience as Chong carries them to a place of truth that stands outside space and time.
