Raspy voiced singer-songwriter Jesse Cox’s songs are grounded and rootsy, like his home “Down North” on Cape Breton Island. He was enveloped in music from a very young age being hauled around live music venues by his touring folk musician parents, Dennis and Lori, even before the release of their 1980 album, The Welcome Table. Getting to hang out with and absorb serious musicians like Matt Minglewood, Rita MacNeil, and Sam Moon from early on is evident in his sound today. Passionate about his music, his songs are ingrained with the cool harshness of being a fisherman in Northern Cape Breton. Jesse released his first album, Threshing Floor, in 2021.
