Jesse Greene with Al Cross Hap Roderman

Jesse Greene is Canada’s “one of a kind” blues woman but you could easily assume she hailed from somewhere further south like Memphis or even Texas. She’s been likened to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix with a strong echo in her voice of Janis Joplin and earlier blues pioneers such as Bessie Smith. Her hometown of Ottawa saw her compete with her no nonsense tough-assed guitar and electrifying original songs winning her a place at the IBC finals in Memphis TN. and again in the TBS Talent search, later prompting a move to Toronto. Jesse was recently awarded the 2024 Amy Louie Grossmans music scholarship, for artist development and is currently working on her next releases and a new studio album.
