Jesse Davis Unveils Debut Single, “Run It Dry”
Jesse Davis is a master of songcraft, with a voice like burning honey and lyrics that brim with acerbic wit and poetic imagery. His vocal hooks range from the cheerfully infectious earworm to the irresistible summer anthem, Davis’ songs sparkle with the veracity of a life lived deeply. A multi-instrumentalist with a well-honed ear for production, he crafts complex and dynamic arrangements, genre-hopping seamlessly through the realms of piano-driven pop, sardonic roots country, crushingly heavy rock, and other Sounds More Difficult to Name. Davis’ unflinching honesty, cutting humour, fiery delivery, and irresistible melodic sense come together in songs which are unforgettable.
After 20 years spent honing his craft and developing his unique artistic voice, Davis has released his debut single, “Run It Dry,” a tongue-in-cheek romp through the lighter side of climate catastrophe. Examining the looming impacts of desertification in the Canadian prairies, and directing cutting sarcasm at the comfortable middle/upper class who willfully ignore the coming calamity, the song is a jolly Trojan Horse carrying a dire message. In a political milieu that is fixated on carbon reductionism and propping up the status quo, Davis hopes for the song to give voice to the frustrations of an ecologically conscious generation, who may yet discover their power for transformation.
