A maestro of acoustic whimsey
Jesse LaPierre makes music that is simultaneously playful, silly, oddly profound, and sometimes (but not always) food related—one moment pondering life as a bagel, the next delighting over the ineffaceable charm of English breakfast tea. Whether his tongue-twisters and epiphanies are flavored by comestibles or his ever-present arachnophobia, his work evokes laughter, swaying, and the taste of sunshine.
