Jesse Terry
When singer-songwriter Jesse Terry — whose song “Strangers in Our Town” can be heard on the Netflix drama Virgin River — became a parent, he wrote a song about his daughter, Lily, called “If I Were the Moon." Based on audience reactions, he adapted the lyrics into a children’s book of the same name that was published in March. Now Terry is on tour promoting the book, the song and the album on which it appears (When We Wander). He's played gigs ranging from Bonnaroo to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, not slotting neatly into any specific genre. Jeff Burkhart, a Madison-based singer-songwriter who fronted The Dirty Shirts, will open.
