Jesse Terry is an internationally touring, award-winning singer-songwriter whose intimacy with audiences, sincerity, and approachability has solidified him as a favorite at festivals and live venues nationwide. Rooted in rhythmic rock & roll and sharp songwriting, “Arcadia” marks a turning point in Jesse Terry's career. It's his seventh original album from a man who's spent much of the past decade on the move, playing 150 shows annually, including bucket-list events such as Bonnaroo and AmericanaFest. “Arcadia” captures both sides of that musical personality, finding room for amplified anthems one moment and intimate moments the next, showcasing just how wide Terry's reach can be. A grand-prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Terry established himself as a top-shelf songwriter and storyteller even before he built his audience as a solo artist. Arcadia captures him at his articulate, energetic peak, stocked with songs that turn personal details from Terry's own life—including the joys and challenges of fatherhood, as well as nostalgic reflections upon his own childhood—into universal rallying cries for anyone looking to turn the challenges of the past into fuel for a better, brighter present.

The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. There is no charge for admission, but a free-will donation of $25 per person is suggested.
