Jesse Dayton

  • Live Oak Music Festival 4100 Vachell Lane San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401 United States (map)

Jesse Dayton, unsung hero of American music, has defied categorization in his decades-spanning career. His chart-topping album with Samantha Fish, "Death Wish Blues," marked a global hit and earned the duo a 2024 Grammy nomination. Dayton, who has worked with legends as diverse as Johnny Cash, X, and Rob Zombie, is set to release a new album produced by Grammy winner Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker). Balancing sharp songwriting with powerful guitar, the upcoming album reflects influences from '70s Dylan and old Texas blues. Dayton, road warrior and troubadour, embraces a big, rowdy sound. His journey from a cult hero to a contemporary chart-topper will be on full display live, proving that, for Jesse Dayton, there are no victory laps, only resurrections.
