After years of playing solo acoustic, it’s about damn time I play a show with a band. I’m gonna have some incredibly talented dudes backing me up too. It’ll be Paul Redel on guitar, Matt Gotschall on bass and Nick Bearden on drums. I couldn’t have picked a better venue to do it at either. The Witzend in Venice Beach is one of those rare places where the sound is just as good as the vibe inside. It’s also known for hosting some of the most talented singer/songwriters in LA. You’re not gonna want to miss this one.

The Macha Theatre Wednesday March 14th
Well, the record is almost done and I’ve been itching to get out and play in the midst of all of this recording. I can’t wait for this Wednesday night when I’ll get to share the stage with Galena and Patrick Daly at the Macha Theatre in West Hollywood. We’ll get started at 8:00 and the show is free.

New Record Coming In 2012
It’s about that time everyone! I have finished writing all of the songs for the new EP and am currently putting on that final layer of polish. I expect to be back in the studio in January so look for a release in late spring/early summer 2012.
Not sure what I’m gonna call it yet but if you would like to have first dibs on a demo version of one of the songs before the record comes out, leaving your email to the right will be a great way to stay in the loop (you’ll also be able to download my last record for free.) I will also be documenting the recording process and will be putting up a “Making The EP” series on YOUTUBE. You can also be the first to see the new episodes by hopping on that mailing list.
I hope you are as excited to hear it as I am to record it, more to come very soon.

CSUF Newspaper Article
My good friend Kacie Yoshida recently wrote a flattering article about me in the Cal State University of Fullerton newspaper the Daily Titan. You can read it by clicking here.

The fine folks at CDReviewer.com recently gave the new EP a nice review! Here it is.
In Between Homes EP
Download the EP now on iTunes/Amazon….
or if you prefer a good old fashioned hard copy click below.
The recording process began back in October of 09′ and I finally have the hard copies in my hands. I will miss all of the good times spent recording at Wagon Wheel Studios with Mr. Michael Starr but I am equally excited to finally have the opportunity to share those good times with you by releasing this EP.
Michael is the man responsible for producing the record. I was able get Dave Raven and my buddy Nick Bearden on drums, Phil Parlapiano on keys (with a name like that you know he has to be good.) I even got my dad Doug MacLeod to play some slide guitar on a track.
It will be available on iTunes in late March 2010 or you can order a hard copy right here on JesseMacLeod.com and I will ship it right to your doorstep.
Tell a friend to tell a friend. I can honestly say I have never been more proud of anything in my entire life. I am still amazed at how well it sounds. Listen to the songs on the Music Player to the right and see for yourself.
