Today, B.C. based singer-songwriter and guitarist,
Jesse Roper announced he is bringing his electrifying live performance on the road in support of his latest album,
Access to Infinity. Canadian dates will kick off on
October 12 in his hometown of
Victoria, BC and wrap
November 16 in
Niagara Falls, ON. “If I could be on the road 364 days a year I would. No joke. I feel alive when I`m on tour," said
Jesse Roper. "It`s my dream to see the four corners of this crazy planet and have music as my vehicle. I love the road and the road loves me back.”
Joining
Roper will be Vancouver Island rockers
Band of Rascals. The band’s latest EP Tempest blends elements of hard-hitting modern rock, with the vintage aesthetic of southern blues. The band will showcase their distinct sound and energetic stage presence in support of nine of the tour’s west coast dates.
“Jesse is like a brother to us so we’re super stoked to be heading out on the road with him this fall," added
Band of Rascals drummer
Marcus Manhas. "Our musical styles compliment each other well and we’re looking forward to bringing some new music out on this tour.”

Ian Davenport (July Talk, Band of Skulls, Supergrass)
