Jesse Roper is a modern-day troubadour, his indie/Americana defined by his authenticity and an adventurous spirit that will appeal to fans of Leon Bridges, Alabama Shakes and JJ Cale. A master at connecting his personal story to his songwriting has helped him reach 50 million career streams to date, as well as inroads in the UK with Radio 2 airplay from Jo Whiley and a performance at AmericanaFest in 2024. Now Jesse Roper is set to continue to reach new audiences, starting with today’s release of the new single ‘Green Eyed Lady’. It comes ahead of the May 6th release of his new EP, ‘Daisy Wake Up’. Listen HERE.
Rootsy and real, ‘Green Eyed Lady’ is above all fun. It’s a groove-driven anthem led by Jesse’s appealingly gritty voice, instantly uplifting and heightened by soulful backing harmonies that feel like they’ve been lifted from a lost classic from the Chess Records catalogue. The song’s lyrics are as playful as it sounds, bringing together sensuality and frisky humour to counteract the heartache he felt as he was writing it.
The single features on the upcoming ‘Daisy Wake Up’ EP alongside the recent ‘I Love You Man’ and ‘Sweet Little Caroline’, and it will be completed by a further three as-yet-unreleased tracks. Collectively it showcases Jesse’s fearless songwriting and vintage-tinged brand of bluesy-rock as he continues to carve out his place as one of Canada’s most compelling modern Americana artists.

The singer-songwriter crafts wildly entertaining narratives of the challenges and eccentricities of life, pulling inspiration from all that surrounds him. His musings on love (both won and lost), the call of the road and the promise of what’s round the corner. It’s a mix which has led to shows with Joe Bonamassa, Beth Hart, Booker T. Jones and Colin James, plus multiple tours and festivals across Canada, USA, UK and Europe.
