Blending folk, blues and Latin grooves comes naturally for performer Jesse Mitchell who supported Pete Murray, Michael Paynter and Thirsty Merc during their Australian National Tours and was runner-up 'Best Singer-songwriter' in the MUSIC OZ AWARDS of 2010 for folk ballad 'My Own Two Feet'. Originally from Melbourne and now based in Sydney, Jesse has been impressing crowds ever since he stepped onto the scene in 2009 with acclaimed EP 'Fingertips'. Launched to a sold out Manchester Lane he quickly went on to tour the UK, Europe and Australia's east coast. Surfing Paradise is a positive and inspiring retelling of his travels through Latin America. "Songs that can motivate and songs that make people dance..." - Ashan Munesinghe , Freezacentral
