"It is easy to compare Terry’s heritage and storytelling to that of Jackson Browne, James Taylor or Bruce Springsteen. A symphonic delight for the heart and soul." (Americana UK)

“Terry essentially re- writes the book on how to strip back your sound and sound incredible in the process” (Maverick Magazine)

After a stunning performance at last year's 'Americana In The Fall' festival, Jesse Terry - once again accompanied by Alan Fish on guitar - returns to The Oxted Sessions for his very own headline show.

Rooted in rhythmic rock & roll and sharp songwriting, Jesse Terry’s new album ‘Arcadia’ marks a turning point in his career. It's the seventh original album from an award-winning musician who has 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.

‘Arcadia’ is layered with dueling electric guitars, stacked vocal harmonies, and heartland hooks: 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 centre 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.

Support comes from Sessions favourite Hammo Mat.

A graduate of the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California, Hammo Mat is an international recording artist who's recorded and toured with numerous music projects, including the critically acclaimed, USA based bands, “Living Daylytes”, and “Eurovox”.

Currently a solo artist based in Surrey, England, Hammo is a highly regarded and accomplished musician, singer, songwriter, and producer. His debut album “On The Day That I Am King”, was a warmly received pop-folk release featuring touches of the Americana he found himself enveloped in while living in Arizona. Hammo’s follow up, due out in mid-2024, promises to be a much stronger pop-centric offering with “full-band” implications throughout.

“I love what I do. Sharing my soul to feed the souls of others.”
