A great listen for ANY fan of music!

Jesse is a fun, high-energ my host with a passion for sharing his love of music. His approach to discussions will bring great joy to your life, and you might be surprised by how deep some of the conversations can go!

JudyRodman ,

Brilliant host!

This show is about a lot more than Bruce... though it centers around the man and his music. I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with the host, who made it a chat of joyful exploration. With his easy style and creative approach, he brings out stories no one has asked about before.

JakeBerry1 ,

Infectious enthusiasm

Jesse's enthusiasm is infectious and uplifting. His commitment comes through in every episode, not just to Bruce's music but to the joy we all find in his music.

Thanks for sharing the love, Jesse. Keep up the great work!
