BIO

Born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, Jesse Stratton is a true and deep-rooted Texas Country / Americana artist who plays music full of truth and raw emotion. Jesse's relevant and gripping songs display and showcase the multi-talented musicians who make up the Jesse Stratton Band. Jesse is the lead vocalist in the band; also playing guitar, saxophone and harmonica. Alongside him are Kenny Martinez on percussion, Tony Garossino playing lead guitar, pedal steel, and mandolin, and Danny Pitt on bass.


Their latest CD 'Traction' is a heartfelt compilation of Jesse's original tunes paired with the ultra gripping instrumental stylings of Garossino, Pitt, and Martinez. This is the band's junior album, and, although lyrically-driven, the instrumental attributions are in full swing. This album displays Stratton's songwriting growth as well as his unique ability to intrigue and relate to the audience. The band is currently promoting "Breaking Your Heart", which is their second Top-50 radio single from this album. (Texas Regional Radio Report)


Jesse has been playing music since the age of 10. He started with the saxophone, which eventually landed him a scholarship to college for Music composition and Music business. He continues to play and learn an array of different instruments, but has always stuck to writing and performing songs with meaning and inspiration. The band formed in 2014, originally as a duo - Stratton and Martinez. Together with Garossino and Pitt, the band creates all the heart and soul live music longs for.
