Danielle Anderson aka Danielle Ate the Sandwich is a very talented artist. She recently filled in as host for the Heartland Song Network’s monthly song salon (The Song Sanctuary)at Kansas City’s PH Coffee. A gentleman named Jesse Jack Sample from Toronto, KS attended and blew everyone, including Danielle, away with his amazing contributions to the afternoon. She immediately contacted me as she thoughtJesse was a great candidate for inclusion on the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show’s rotation. She was right and with some back and forth, we were able to come up with a date for Jesse to come in and share his stories with our KKFI audience.
Sample began his musical journey in the Wichita rock scenebut then paused to raise a family and live a quieter life. In recent years he’s found himself living in Toronto, Kansas a place more in tune with the country sounds heard on his album “King of the Plains.”
For a time he operated a bait shop/music venue in Toronto, adifficult venture to sustain in a small town. Building an audience is difficult within an urban center; super challenging from a place like Toronto, KS.
Enjoy this musical conversation and performance with JesseJack Sample… Dillon Boren on acoustic bass and Jack Riebel on fiddle…. Oh and grab a tissue for Jesse’s original composition “Juliet.”
