Item Description
Now it seems that all of the best ones have been driven underground.
If there is a leak in the boiler room, it is the music of Jesse DeNatale, a unique and original American voice.
— Tom Waits
Enjoy two CDs, both signed by Jesse De Natale. His music is not currently available on iTunes and CDs are limited.
Celebrated American singer songwriter (and SWSF Dad) Jesse DeNatale currently resides in Northern California. He has released two critically acclaimed albums, Shangri-La West and Soul Parade. Along with the Ep Dreamer's Holiday he has appeared on various compilations and tributes. He has toured both nationally and internationally performing in festivals, clubs and theaters. His new record Hallelujah Rain will be released in the winter of 2011.
DeNatale would tell you that there is a long list of great artists, both musical and otherwise who greatly inspire him. "Composers and songwriters from the past, poets, writers, painters, my friends and peers, little kid's drawings, creativity in general. As far as I know it is the backbone of humanity"
Musically he has always drawn from a melting pot of influence and always from a new and an old source. Classical composers, punk rockers, roots, blues, jazz, nature. Music that comes in all forms and from every direction. The creative relationship between mythology and everyday life is pivotal to DeNatale's songwriting. He learned guitar from listening to Ramblin' Jack Elliott records. Years later Elliott would then discover him playing at a coastal cafe and encouraged Jesse by requesting he open his shows. "He was my boyhood hero, and then somehow he became my fan. How that happens I don't know."
"Songwriting might have come to me as a necessity. What I really wanted to do was sing, but the only way that my voice was going to work was if I sang songs about what I knew, what I knew to be personally true. " And it is his way with words, as well as their marriage to simple, tuneful and mysteriously soulful melodies, that has kept the diehard fans, including Tom Waits, novelist Michael Ondaatje ("The English Patient") and former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins in DeNatale's corner.
