"Jesse Meade positively owned the evening."
"Meade takes the time to fill each note, emphasizing lyrical content and vocal harmonies."
"He's recorded a demo and it's amazing."
-Dan Barry
Hartford Advocate

"...listen to the purity of Meade's country-folk-R&B voice--one that sounds like it's seen heartbreaking things in the world, and still manages to find the beautiful."
-Annie Bethancourt
Willamette Week

"Meade sings sweetly about love, hope and friendship, asking the same questions that everyone, really, wants the answers to - though when the person asking has such a comforting voice, you don't mind not getting any answers. "
-Vanessa Salvia
Eugene Weekly

"Don't expect (Otis)Redding's rhythms or (John)Hurt's style to be replicated in Meade's compositions. Although it's inspired by such musicians, the music is all his own."
-Marielle Gallagher
Bend Bulletin

"Whether you're broken hearted or about to fall in love, Jesse Meade's slow, raspy, style makes for perfect listening."
