    About This Event

    Jesse Welles brings his blend of gritty heartland rock, alt-country twang and confessional lyricism to The Rooftop at Pier 17. His sets pair raw, distorted guitars and weathered vocals—often compared to Tom Petty and Neil Young—with songs that move from hushed folk ballads to roaring anthems, reflecting a road-worn Midwestern sensibility.
