Jesse Sprinkle

Musically, Jesse Sprinkle's career has skipped over every genre. He started as a drummer with the Seattle-area grunge band Poor Old Lu in 1993, then branched out with the classical guitar album Sunsites in 1997. Since then, he's toured through rap, heavy metal, and acoustic rock on solo projects and on bands like Burning Daylight, Demon Hunter, and Morella's Forest.

The Rochester City Newspaper wrote "Sprinkle's music is sparse and spacious, moody but not gloomy. It's essentially the man and his guitar.... Sprinkle rifles around the thesaurus in his head, searching for an appropriate label before settling on 'darker pop.'"

That fits. Jesse's music mostly falls on the melancholy side of beauty, with surprising splashes of cheerfulness.

Jesse lives in East Avon, New York (not Avon) with his wife, Amanda, and their four children. Amidst the bohemian swarm of musicians and other artists that dive into Bluebrick Recordings, Jesse lives a fairly laidback life, punctuated with trips to Uganda with the Ugandan Water Project. He is a fabulous Indian chef, an even better photographer, and a TV addict who is fostering a truly unhealthy appreciation of Mork and Mindy. He also has a fitting obsession with C.S. Lewis, something that crops up occasionally in his lyrics.
