‘Jesse Labelle & Friends” Has Brought Nashville’s Top Songwriters In-The-Round
Format To the Listening Room For 17 Sold Out Shows
NASHVILLE, TN — Since hearing the great news of his being selected to appear at the prestigious Stagecoach Festival, Jesse Labelle has decided to do a series of events entitling ON THE ROAD TO STAGECOACH. It will include special performances, a release of a six song EP, radio appearances and many surprises yet to come. To start, the Independent singer/songwriter will be celebrating the release of his six song EP, “Jesse Labelle, Part 1,” with a September 3rd performance at the Listening Room. The “Jesse Labelle & Friends” series has brought Nashville’s Top Songwriters to the Listening Room for 17 sold out in advance shows to date. “This show is special as the band and I will be performing not only songs from the EP but new songs we plan to perform on the SiriusXM stage at the Stagecoach,” says Labelle. He recently kicked-off his radio events with his good friend radio host Shawn Parr. The newly syndicated show “Across the Country” is currently heard on 35 stations and growing daily. After its August 8th kick off in Jasper, Indiana, Jesse and Shawn are making plans to do many more of these in the upcoming months.
The six-song EP available on August 31 is a result of his focused time spent in quarantine writing, producing, and performing some of the best music of his career. The track Flashback was released the week of August 16th to tease the upcoming EP. Heartbreak Songs will be the lead song of the EP coming out on all the DSPs on August 31.

Before the COVID-19 crisis, Jesse had been on a steady climb with a growing touring career. Labelle has played some of country music’s biggest festivals including Country Stampede, Country Fan Fest and opening for Jason Aldean, Big & Rich, Granger Smith, Rodney Atkins and then the ultimate career high in realizing a dream come true opening for superstar Garth Brooks in August 2019. At the Brooks stadium show he received an overwhelming response from the crowd.
2020-21 was a challenging year for Labelle, who lost his apartment in the Tornado, had to cancel his tour due to COVI.D and recovered from a bout with cancer. He spent his time in quarantine working on his music and building his Team Labelle fanbase through his weekly Total Request Live weekly livestream on Facebook and Instagram. Recent shows have had as many as 6000 views from people all over the world.
Starting in December 2020 Jesse created a live virtual concert series for one of his sponsors, FICO. FICO LIVE is exclusive to FICO employees, customers and clients as a special private event. Once again Jesse assembled Nashville’s premier songwriters, including Desmond Child, Liz Rose, Bobby Pinson, Chris Wallen, Wendell Mosley, Lee Thomas Miller and Pricilla Block to join him. The most recent show was the August 12th featuring songwriters Jimmy Robbins and Rob Crosby and his final show in the FICO LIVE series will be on September 16th.
Labelle won the “Nashville Needs A Song” COVID 19 songwriting competition with the song Looking Up, which he co-wrote with Rob Crosby and Jamie Moore. The contest was a joint venture between the Mayor’s office, Nashville Convention & Visitor’s Corporation and the Nashville songwriters Association International (NSAI) to inspire and uplift Nashvillians as they navigated the challenges of the coronavirus. Another prestigious award came from his single Two Hearts & A Diamond which won the American Songwriters competition that had over 35,000 entries.
