About JESSE TERRY:
Rooted in rhythmic rock & roll and sharp songwriting, Arcadia marks a turning point in Jesse Terry's career. It's the seventh original album from an award-winning musician who's spent much of the past decade on the move, playing 150 shows annually, bouncing between solo performances and full-band gigs. Arcadia captures both sides of that musical personality, finding room for amplified anthems one moment and intimate moments the next, showcasing just how wide Terry's reach can be. "There are so many different parts to all of us," he explains. "For me, I have the husband part, the father part, the songwriting part, the touring part… and I like embracing all those different sides with my music, too. I listen to just as much Tom Petty as I listen to James Taylor. As much acoustic Neil Young as electric Neil Young. There's a rock & roll side of me that's been waiting in the wings for some time now, and this is the first album to capture that side and present me as a whole artist."
Arcadia is layered with dueling electric guitars, stacked vocal harmonies, and heartland hooks, all supplied by instrumentalists like Ethan Ballinger (Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack), Ross McReynolds (Katie Pruitt, Becca Mancari), Sam Howard (Molly Tuttle, Joy Williams), Juan Solorzano (Ruston Kelly, Parker Millsap), and Danny Mitchell (Rodney Crowell, Anderson East). It's a big, bold sound — the sort of record that begs to be played in the car, windows rolled down, driving down the fast lane toward some new horizon. At the center of that sound is the craft Terry has been sharpening since his years in Nashville, back when he composed songs for others as a staff writer on Music Row. A grand-prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Terry established himself as a top-shelf songwriter and storyteller even before he built his audience as a solo artist, landing performances at bucket-list events like Bonnaroo and AmericanaFest along the way. Nearly a dozen albums later, Arcadia captures him at his articulate, energetic peak.
"I started to look at my journey and career path in a different light," he says, thinking back to the years that inspired Arcadia's creation. It was a time of change and challenge. He'd recently become a father for the second time, but a genetic disorder threatened his son's health, resulting in a year's worth of doctor's appointments and medical tests. Meanwhile, he'd grown exhausted by the concept of "content creation" — the need to constantly market himself to the digital world — and he chose to take a step back, focusing his priorities on family, music, and his own mental health instead. "I unsubscribed from most music business newsletters and, instead, focused on reading great literature," he remembers. Newly inspired, he left town for a series of immersive songwriting retreats, spending his weekends in isolated cabins or quiet rooms at friends' homes, dedicating himself to music for 14 unbroken hours a day. He also teamed up with co-writer and longtime mentor Craig Bickhardt, the man behind songs for legends like Ray Charles, The Judds, and The Highwaymen. Bickhardt pushed Terry to reach even deeper, and the result is an album that's both personal and universal, stocked with songs that turn details from Terry's own life — the joy of fatherhood, the anxiety of protecting a sick child, the nostalgic reflection upon his own childhood — into rallying cries for anyone looking to turn the challenges of the past into fuel for a better, brighter present.
And who, exactly, is Jesse Terry? On "Burn The Boats," he's a man caught between heartache and personal transition, his gorgeous vocals sharing the spotlight with jangling guitars. On the Springsteen-worthy title track, he finds his own "Arcadia" — a creative utopia, named after the historical region in Greece but imbued with mythic qualities — in the songwriting process itself. And throughout the album, he pulls triple-duty as singer, songwriter, and co-producer (a role he shares with Dylan Alldredge), crafting a record that's as distinctive as it is diverse.
"I'm more obsessed with music than ever before," he says. "I love the idea of bringing something beautiful into the world."
Yet he emerged to earn a degree from Berklee College of Music, net a five-year staff writer gig on Nashville's Music Row penning material for major TV networks, and win prestigious songwriting awards. And then to become the singer-songwriter his countless fans know today, who (in the words of Music News Nashville) "bring[s] to mind iconic artist/poets like Paul Simon and Jackson Browne... [with] a performance that touches the heart like only a whisper can."
Schiffer Kids will release Jesse’s first children’s book “If I Were the Moon” (based on the song of the same).
What People Are Saying About Jesse Terry’s Music:
"This is music to revel in, so just revel till the starlight fades."
- Nick West / RnR Magazine
“Singer-songwriter Jesse Terry seventh album Arcadia is undoubtedly a career high and, equally undoubtedly, one of the best releases by anybody last year… His songs exude empathy and understanding and he allies them to tunes, melodies and hooks that will have listeners singing along from the very first listen… An unqualified triumph, joyous and life affirming.”
- RNR Magazine
“Beautifully crafted songs from a master singer-songwriter. A joy to play on my radio show with great reaction from listeners. Jesse deserves to be up there with the likes of James Taylor & Jackson Browne.”
— Paddy MacDee - BBC Radio Newcastle
“Jesse Terry is a gentle soul with a formidable songwriting talent and a clear artistic vision… he's a force to be reckoned with. His well-crafted songs rank right there with Ryan Adams, Rhett Miller and other masters of alt-country."
— John Platt - WFUV - NYC
