B.C. based singer-songwriter and guitarist, Jesse Roper announced he is bringing his electrifying live performance on the road in support of his latest album, Access to Infinity. Canadian dates will kick off on October 12 in his hometown of Victoria, BC and wrap November 16 in Niagara Falls, ON.
“If I could be on the road 364 days a year I would. No joke. I feel alive when I’m on tour,” said Jesse Roper. “It’s my dream to see the four corners of this crazy planet and have music as my vehicle. I love the road and the road loves me back.”
Joining Roper will be Vancouver Island rockers Band of Rascals. The band’s latest EP Tempest blends elements of hard-hitting modern rock, with the vintage aesthetic of southern blues. The band will showcase their distinct sound and energetic stage presence in support of nine of the tour’s west coast dates.
“Jesse is like a brother to us so we’re super stoked to be heading out on the road with him this fall,” added Band of Rascals drummer Marcus Manhas. “Our musical styles compliment each other well and we’re looking forward to bringing some new music out on this tour.”
Produced by Ian Davenport (July Talk, Band of Skulls, Supergrass) Roper’s third album Access To Infinity encompasses the raw riffing on which Roper has built his reputation, combined with a modern take on the psychedelic explorations of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. Since the album’s release early this year, Roper has reached 2.8 million streams on Spotify and has hit the stage with numerous other top acts including, Big Wreck, Johnny Reid, Tash Sultana and Burton Cummings.
Access To Infinity follows Roper’s celebrated 2015 album Red Bird, which captured much of the fire of his dynamic live show. He’s also played festival sets at some of the best western Canada has to offer, including talked-about appearances at Rifflandia, Rock the Shores, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival and BreakOut West, among others.
