This show is being hosted inside at Limbo, The Refinery's newest event space. With a welcoming yet polished ambiance, Limbo provides a unique atmosphere to discover emerging talent or see a beloved artist in an up-close setting.

Jesse Roper

Based in Victoria, BC, Jesse Roper is a blues/Americana artist with a penchant for writing modern indie-infused blues music and delivering bombastic live performances buoyed by his virtuosic guitar playing. His innate and impressive musical talent has served him well, giving him the flexibility to play with soul icon Booker T. Jones, rock veteran Colin James, blues belter Beth Hart, and Canadian legend Burton Cummings.

The stage is where Roper shines. It has been his home since overcoming crippling stage fright during his early twenties. Fear is a part of Roper’s past that barely seems real today - especially when you see the in-concert image of a six-string soldier, hair matted to his face, tearing up the stage, without a hint of second-guessing.

Jesse is a master at connecting his personal story and experiences to his songwriting - crafting narratives that hit on life’s challenges and eccentricities - but that remain upbeat, engaging, and wildly entertaining songs. Adventuresome doesn’t properly describe Roper as an artist, because when the guitar-wielding dynamo sets out to accomplish something, there’s no telling where his mind will wander, or when his energy will go.
