JESSE COOK

A HUNTSVILLE FAVORITE! JESSE COOK RETURNS WITH A NIGHT OF VITUOSIC GUITAR

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jesse Cook is a Canadian guitarist, composer, and producer, widely recognized for his groundbreaking approach to world music, blending flamenco, jazz, and other cultural influences. His music has been streamed over 900 million times, with YouTube views at more than 130 million. Over the past three decades, Cook has played thousands of concerts in dozens of countries. His five PBS specials continue to air across the U.S., all of which highlight music from his 11 albums and 5 live concert DVDs.

Celebrated for his vast catalog of intricate and original material, Cook’s concerts resonate deeply with audience members of all backgrounds and age groups. Hesitant when it comes to labeling his eclectic style of music, Cook comments, “I don’t think naming it is important. I think if people are moved by it—if it touches their hearts—that’s what matters most to me.”

Moved they are, as demand for Cook grows exponentially, with venue sizes increasing and dates continually being added to his ongoing world tour.
