PROGRAM Tempest II Tour BIOGRAPHY Jesse Cook An accomplished guitarist and producer—and equally prolific filmmaker—Jesse Cook has evolved his talents to create experiences that delight audiences both in concert and online. He composed his first album, Tempest, more than 25 years ago. Cook could not imagine that such a humble recording, in which he played all the instruments, would spark into a music legacy with thousands of concerts performed around the world, more than 2 million albums sold, five PBS TV specials, and millions of content views and streams across the internet. Cook and his extraordinary band are looking forward to returning to the road, bringing the Tempest II Tour and their unique brand of rhythm and rhumba to audiences across North America in 2022.
