Jesse Rivest News

I'm excited to announce that I've just released a FREE gift to everyone - it was given to me and, after some processing and super-fying, I am re-gifting it to any and all through the Internet. It's a digital double live album called:

• Jesse Rivest - Live At The Mussel Inn - Feb 19 2010
• (click here to read more and find the download link)

That's it! The official release date was yesterday, March 16, 2010, when I made it public via Facebook and Twitter. I hope you enjoy, and please forward this on to your friends and acquaintances around the Earth!

Thanks,

Jesse

Hi all,

Just a quick one to let you know that I've released a live video (from New Zealand's Waihi Bush Music Festival 2010) of a new song called My Ticket Home. You can view at Youtube with the following link.

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to announce that I'll be playing some shows in the sunshine and glow of the upper South Island of New Zealand in February - I'm really looking forward to it!

I hope you or someone you know will come along to one of the shows; better come up and say hi, too - it's cool to meet new people. Plus the shows are small, right, so let's meet.

The very best way to stay in the loop for this tour is:

• Keep an eye on these feed items, I'll update them as needed
• Follow me on Twitter (free to NZ phones)
• Join the community at my Facebook page or tour event page
  

I'll be playing:

• Waihi Bush Music Festival (Geraldine area) on Feb 4 through Feb 6/7
• Wunderbar in Lyttelton (Christchurch-ish) on Feb 7
• The Mussel Inn in Golden Bay on Feb 19
• Hot Mama's in Motueka on Feb 20
• Le Cafe in Picton on Feb 21

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I'm playing an opening set of my tunes at my friend Vorn's concert this upcoming Thursday - it's gonna be a cool show because Vorn and band are planning to record a live CD from this concert. Come make some noise and it'll be a fun night! Vorn's band is one of the first bands I saw in Wellington when I arrived in 2006, and I quickly became a fan. I'll probably play 30 to 45 minutes and then the evening will turn very uniquely Vornesque.

Here are the details:

• Facebook event page (invite your friends!)
• Vorn's myspace page (hear some music)
• Thursday, November 19 @ 9:00 pm ($5 entry) @ Happy, Cnr of Tory and Vivian streets, Wellington, New Zealand

See you soon,

Jesse

Here's a video of Stu Pedley and I having fun with Down Again at my last show. Thanks to my friend Ana for capturing this with her camera; I tried to film with my own camera but I chose a bad angle... ha ha, the back of my head! I'll try to get another song or two out to you soon from Ana's camera.

• Down Again at Youtube (share with friends!)
• Also downloadable as a podcast episode (ITunes or general)

Thanks, and enjoy!

What does Jesse sound like in a church? Here's a 5-day-glimpse of one the songs that launched the World March for Peace and Nonviolence on October 2, purpose-built by yours truly and complete with new-song-chord-fumbles and that big church echo. It's called Arm's Length Away, and I'll leave it up as last song on my Myspace page until Friday night (Oct 23) New Zealand time.

• last song in Myspace music player
• comments going on Facebook
  

Enjoy!
