Jesse Welles
Jesse Allen Breckenridge Wells, known professionally as Jesse Welles, is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He released his debut studio album, Red Trees and White Trashes, in 2018. Welles previously performed under the name Jeh Sea Wells and was also the frontman of the bands Dead Indian, formed in 2012, and Cosmic-American, formed in 2015. He was also the frontman for the band Welles. In 2024, Welles garnered attention on social media for writing and performing folk protest songs, including "The Poor", "Cancer", "The Olympics", and "United Health", as well as "War Isn't Murder", a track about the Gaza war. Vulture has described his music as "A mix of old-fashioned folkie signifiers and trending-topic populism, delivered in hooky snippets on social media several times weekly". He has been described as a modern Woody Guthrie. In 2025, Welles received four nominations at the upcoming 2026 Grammy Awards. From Wikipedia (
