Despite the frigid weather and frozen roads, Jesse made the trek to our home on my mom's 93rd birthday and sang everything from James Taylor to Elvis for her in a very well-performed and seamless 30-minute set. He brought smiles to all of us and had Mom tapping away and torn between smiles and happy tears. We couldn't have gotten her a better birthday gift than Jesse singing to her!
Jesse sang two songs for my sisters birthdays! They were in tears!
Prompt, very nice.
Wanted a singing telegram for my daughter's 21st birthday.. He showed up on time singing 2 songs plus Happy Birthday and brought her flowers. Very communicative and prompt responses. He was darling and has an awesome voice!
He was great but the amount of time for the money was too short.
Communicative and good. It went off perfect and couldn’t be happy. Great singer and very personable.
It was my son's 16th birthday so I wanted to try to embarrass him having someone come and sing happy birthday to him. Well it didn't embarrass him instead he loved it! Jesse sang a song from The Doors who is my sons absolute favorite band. He did an amazing job! After Jesse left Tucker said he wished he could have stayed longer! Jesse was extremely smooth to communicate with and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We will definitely be looking Jesse up for future events!
Jesse Labelle set the perfect romantic tone for our wedding. He was very organized & found out everything he needed in advance. He came early & set up on his own. He took last minute requests of announcing in stride & maintained extremely professional. I received so many questions about how I found him, do yourself a favor & book him now! I am so grateful he was a part of my favorite day!
Jesse was fantastic! He communicates well with you to coordinate things, and obviously does great work in the singing and performing department! It was Tim's 50th birthday and with the pandemic keeping us from having live meetings... the rest of us were on Zoom, and Jesse surprised Tim at his house while the rest of us were there virtually to sing for his birthday! Awesome time was had by all!!
Jesse was so great! I hired him to deliver a singing telegram to my sister and it was SUCH a hit.
Jesse was awesome for the birthday surprise song I had him do for my girlfriend. I wasn’t sure when I would be ready for him and he was very flexible to make it work. He already knew a little know song that I couldn’t believe he already knew (Beyond, by Leon Bridges). His performance was stellar!
He was everything I imagined... and very worth it!!! Always answered back promptly, felt very confident, and I had no worries working with him😁
very pleased with Elvis birthday delivery for a sweet 16 birthday
Jesse was a great entertainer, very kind to the nursing home birthday party guests! He was prompt, friendly and caring of the folks that were there. Not to mention his great voice and guitar playing of my sisters favorite country singers! Will be the only person I would hire if I have another event.
I knew from the moment that Jesse's profile popped up on my computer screen that he was the one for our event. Everything just felt "right" - - and right it was. He was a professional with a genuine caring attitude about the event and how his performance fit into it. He was personable, funny and, above all else, tremendously talented. Upon hearing him sing the first few bars of his opening number, I knew immediately that this was going to be a special night. It was one of those legendary nights when all the stars aligned - - the venue, the food and the entertainment blended seamlessly into one unforgettable evening. Thank you, Jesse.
Great job, great voice :)
Jesse came into or home and was personable and professional. It was my Mom's 80th Birthday and we surprised her with Jesse singing Elvis (her favorite singer) songs.
My mom was in tears after he left because she was so happy and elated .
My guest were all in awe on his performance. He was only here for a short time but he was the high light of our event.
Jesse is not only a great musician, he’s professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him and would hire him again. Thanks Jesse!
Jesse was a delight to work with. While he wasn't able to attend our event in person, he sent a backup who was equally as talented. He had great communication and was very personable. Thank you!
Jesse Labelle and his band made our corporate event an unforgettable experience! I loved that they made our Nashville-vibe event special, and brought a positive energy to our guests. Definitely one of my favorite live bands.
Jesse preformed for our Welcome Party/Rehearsal Dinner for our destination wedding in Nashville. He did a wonderful job preforming, every song he played really drew in the crowd, and is very naturally talented! Leading up to the party he was available with communication, and was very professional every step of the way. I would 100% recommend him for any and every type of event! Great job!
Great job, with myself having provided no plan or request, he came up with a song and did a fantastic job!
Jesse nailed my demo studio session, every aspect!
Jesse was the best. He showed up at my wife’s work, brought her flowers and sang one of our favorite songs. It made her day and I couldn’t have asked for any better service and a better guy to do a singing telegram. Thanks, Jesse, and thanks GigSalad! You’re great!
Made a young lady very happy on her birthday by coming to sing happy birthday to her!! Stand up guy.
Fantastic person, fantastic voice! Definitely recommend
We had Jesse as our main act at our "NashVegas" Party where we had about 100 or so people. He is professional - he followed up and contacted us and the venue to ensure he brought the right equipment for our space. He not just entertained and connected with the crowd, but you can tell he's really into his craft and is a full-on performer with an amazing voice and presence. With so many singers to choose from in the Nashville area, this guy is truly a star!!!
Everyone Loved Jessie! A fantastic entertainer and incredibly talented. Great selection of songs and an amazing voice. You will not be disappointed
I found Jesse, read all of his great reviews and watched his videos. He sang great and could offer any type of genre so I felt confident in booking him. He responded in minutes and communicated very well all the way until he performed for my wife’s friends. We have him a playlist and right after he was done I received a bunch of text messages about how amazing he was. Jesse was a lucky find and I would book him for another event for sure.
Jesse was easy to work with, prompt and everyone loved his music!
I wanted to do something wonderful and unique for one of my best friends who lives in Nashville, since I live states away from her in Colorado. I recently became engaged and I wanted to give a unique bridesmaid proposal to my friend. Her birthday was coincidently coming up as well! I came across Gig Salad to look into a singing telegram, and as soon as I submitted my request, Jessie replied in what felt like only 30 seconds! He was so very patient with me in trying to plan this special singing telegram for my friend, even when there were a few snags in scheduling (completely not related to Jessie). When the day came for Jessie to surprise my friend, he knocked it OUT OF THE PARK. Although I wasn’t there, someone got it on video! It was magical, and was more than I even expected. His voice and presence is truly sensational and he put tears in everyone’s eyes. I am so grateful that Jessie was able to make this happen and put a big smile on my friend’s face with his music and talent! Thank you!
Jesse was awesome to work with, surprised my wife with our wedding song, communicated several times before and after, has an amazing voice, oh and all the parents thought he was super hot.
Jesse Labelle was very accommodating and professional. He was chosen to provide a surprise singing telegram for a second wedding anniversary in Nashville, TN. I live in San Antonio , TX. He did a commendable job communicating with me and the local hotel staff to locate the couple. My son and his wife loved the surprise performance. It turns out Jesse and my son and his wife are acquaintances, which turned out to be another surprise. Thank you Jesse for a special experience.
Hired him as a singer for cocktail hour during my wedding. He did not show up so unfortunately didn’t have a singer during cocktail hour.
Response from Jesse Labelle:
Dear reader,
Unfortunately there has been some information left out here. During the clients and my communication leading up to the event, there was a discrepancy in the events start time. When I received a phone call asking where I was I quickly hopped in the car to head over to the gig. Half way through my drive the client called me and told me to not show up. I offered to right the situation given the miscommunication and they told me they didnt want me there anymore.
If you read my reviews on this site thus far you will see that I have a perfect rating, save this one occurrence. I am sorry this one didnt work out, but I always show up, always play, and always receive a perfect rating. Thanks for reading and I look forward to playing your event :)
Best,
Jesse
Jesse was the BEST find for our networking event in Nashville. He was insanely talented and equally as friendly and professional. He even took requests and seemed to know it all! :) We can't recommend him highly enough and would love to have him play for us again in the future!
We hired Jesse for a corporate event at a winery. He was there and set up before I got there. He was easy to communicate with before the event, and very responsive. His set was great, and he was very entertaining. Our female guests were especially pleased with him :)
Just Jesse, a guitar, and a loop pedal, but everyone had a great time. We had Jesse play at our fraternity formal and he was great. He customized his set list based on what we wanted to hear leading up to and even right before he began playing. Even with it just being him, he did a great job entertaining the crowd. Would highly recommend.
Our party was a huge success - thank you!
Jesse Labelle was a PERFECT choice for our family event; everyone thought he was absolutely amazing, and his humble demeanor sealed the deal! He is a true gentleman, and our family will continue to support his talents and his future endeavors!
Jesse was accommodating even though the birthday girl was running behind. Thank you for being so nice!
Jesse made my daughter's 21st birthday a special one. She loved the surprise visit and his beautiful voice/music. Thanks, Jesse!!!
We had a surprise for my boss’s birthday, and Jesse learned a song to sing for her that day. I have to say, it was the perfect present and I’m not sure if we can ever top that one. We totally made her day and we will always remember this day, thanks to Jesse! He was nice, on time, professional, and a great musician. He would be perfect for a wedding, but is versatile enough to sing and play his guitar on any occasion! Thanks, Jesse! You rock!
Jesse came to our work place to do a singing telegram for our co-worker. He sang Let it Go from the movie Frozen and it was awesome! Jesse with his guitar is very talented. He is a great singer and brought our team the best entertainment for a Friday at work. Our co-worker was very surprised and didn't know how to react which made the whole experience even more entertaining. Jesse was quick to set up, professional, super personable, and provided a comfortable environment of entertainment. I would highly recommend Jesse for a performance and have already told many of my friends about him
Thanks again for the performance! We had a lot of fun!
Response from Jesse Labelle:
Thanks Karissa!! You were a pleasure to work with and i had blast :) best to you and the rest of the team!
Jesse performed some amazing country love songs for a proposal I planned on the pedestrian bridge in Nashville. Couldn’t have expected more. Down to earth. Interactive. And even surprised us with one of his upcoming songs. Wish I could give 10-10 stars!
Price Range: $500 - $1000
Gig Length: 15 - 240 minutes
Languages: English
Insurance: $1,000,000 - Can be purchased if necessary
Whatever gig it is I am playing, be it an intimate event or a packed room, I always perform like were in side of a stadium and bring my very best!
As a one man band, set up and tear down is extremely minimal and quick, and my performance consists of Me, my loop station, stage signage ( if the client requests ) and a handful of singalong songs that everyone will know and love!
I can offer songs in all genres from all decades. From the Beatles to Justin Bieber, Keith Whitley to Keith Urban, I love to play them all!
When Jesse Labelle performs he captivates audiences with his music, bringing each and every spectator into his world and making them as much a part of the song as the lyrics themselves.
Jesse, born and raised in Toronto, Canada honed his musical and songwriting talents throughout his years at Forest Hill Collegiate Institute alongside classmate and high school alum Aubrey Graham (DRAKE).
Upon graduating, Jesse would move immediately into a career in songwriting, penning radio hits for many of Canada's top performing pop, rock, and country acts.
In 2015, following nearly a decade of success in Canada's music scene, Jesse set his sights on Music City USA, and it has been in Nashville that he has found both his true calling and home.
Regularly touring the US when he isnʼt on the ground in Nashville focusing on writing and producing, Jesse released his debut American single "Another You" to rave reviews and smashing success on Spotify. Jesse is currently in the studio working on numerous followups that will ultimately be his first EP released in the U.S. early 2018. For Jesse, theres never been a more exciting time to watch for what happens next.
I have my own sound equipment for small rooms and performances of 100 and less.
Above 100, I request a standard PA and monitor.
I always request a mic stand as I bring my own microphone.
Lights are at the clients discretion and can be rented and provided by me if needed.
