Join us for an enchanting afternoon at The Lomond as Castlemaine based songwriter Jesse Lawrance unveils his debut album, Some Little Town, accompanied by the full studio band.

No stranger to the Lomond, Jesse is a seasoned singer-songwriter with roots firmly planted in the Texas songwriter tradition and a deep appreciation for country and Americana genres, he crafts songs that are gritty and poetic. Jesse’s lyrics combine powerful imagery with deft story-telling to create moving vignettes from the raw materials of life; think Guy Clark or Townes Van Zandt.

Dobro genius Pete Fidler (Nick Charles, Bill Jackson, Cartwheels) works regularly with Jesse and features heavily on the album. Pete is also superb on mandolin & lap steel.

Kat Mear (Cash Savage, Scott Cook) is known for her soaring fiddle and haunting backing vocals. As the saying goes … ‘she got honey on them fiddle strings!’

Steve Temple (Peter Baylor, Moonee Valley Drifters) has played in bands with Jesse for the best part of two decades. Adept at any roots-based genre you care to name, Steve’s bass playing was the natural choice.

Honeytree brings soulfulness and a pure tone to her backing vocals. She also sings a duet with Jesse on the album - being his partner in song, and in life!

Jesse Lawrance's music evokes a sense of time and place, weaving strong melodies, powerful imagery and authentic storytelling into varied emotional landscapes. A true folk poet, Jesse is earning a reputation as a captivating songwriter and performer.

This special early show promises to be a truly memorable album launch. A little hint … buy your tickets early!
