Jesse Blevins

Jesse Blevins is the nom-de-Nashville of John Kellermann. He's lived in Oregon long enough to lose his Tennessee accent, mostly, unless he's singing or talking southern. As a single dad, he took his father's advice and kept his day job. Along the way, he's written many songs, some with witty lyrics and catchy tunes, others poignant and haunting, in various styles from "folk jazz" to "urban country". He's played saxaphone in a rock band, old-timey banjo in a string band, and marimba in an African band. Now he mostly plays guitar in a duo with his wife and fellow songwriter, Margaret Kellermann.
