Little Tortilla
Jesse and the Medicine Men’s most recent release – Little Tortilla – captures Jesse’s signature style. The album largely emulates the traditional country and rock ‘n roll artists that inspire Jesse. With old-style beats backing lighthearted lyrics, Jesse’s warbly voice captures the listeners attention.
The blend of country sounds and lighthearted themes are perhaps most evident in Waiting on Mama – the opening song – and Little Tortilla – the titular track. Both of these songs are a romp right at the onset of Little Tortilla’s 30-minute runtime. However, later songs, such as Driving Slow, continue the signature style of Jesse and the Medicine Men.
About Jesse and the Medicine Men
Jesse, the front-runner of the Medicine Men, traces his musical roots back to the heartland of America. Raised in Bethany, Oklahoma, he was immersed in the rich tapestry of gospel music, learning the art of harmony and the power of the human voice. He continued his musical journey in the wide-open spaces of Montana, where he honed his craft, singing to the cattle on his family’s ranch. It was during this time he developed his signature style, a blend of traditional country and rock ‘n roll.
Now, Jesse and the Medicine Men bring their high-energy performances to the Des Moines area. Their music is filled with catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a contagious energy that keeps audiences engaged and dancing. It is clear that Jesse and the Medicine Men are looking to continue the tradition of the fast-fading, old country sound.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead to what Jesse and the Medicine Men will offer in the future. The logical next step for the next release is further exploration of contemporary themes and iteration on the well-established traditional country sound.
