Jesse Sykes
Spanning more than two decades, Jesse Sykes and The Sweet Hereafter continue their unique spin on spooky folk rock, sometimes leaning into heavier psychedelic explorations. Their collective vision has culminated into a distinct sound that Sykes coined “Spooky American Music”.
The New York Times has described their sound as "spellbound music, rapt in fatalism and sorrow.” Spin Magazine called 2011's release Marble Son, "a sprawling psyche-rock vision” and All Music adds; "Whether the sonic setting is one of doomy distortion or fragile finger picking, Sykes remains a truly unique vocalist whose dusky voice is capable of imparting a transcendent, almost spiritual quality to almost any tune it touches."
The band has toured extensively in the US and Europe and have just completed both a US and European run supporting avant- garde drone metal purveyors Sunn O)))—who Sykes has collaborated and performed with numerous times over the years.
They have been fortunate to have worked under the guidance of such wise ears as; Tucker Martine, Mell Dettmer, Martin Feveyear, Randall Dunn, Johnny Sangster and most recently Seattle’s Robb Davidson.
Sykes and Wandscher (who will appear as a duo for these shows) are patiently awaiting the release of Jesse Sykes And The Sweet Hereafter’s 5th studio album, and are beyond thrilled to be sharing the stage with Marissa Nadler again, who Jesse has frequently called her “favorite living singer-songwriter.”
