Jesse Welles 2026 Tour Info
Singer-songwriter Jesse Welles, known for his raw folk-rock sound and powerful protest songwriting, is embarking on the “Under the Powerlines” Tour in 2026. The tour supports his prolific output from recent years — including albums like Middle, Pilgrim, Under the Powerlines, and Devil’s Den — and will bring his poignant storytelling to audiences across North America. The tour is slated to begin on February 23 in Knoxville, followed by stops in Nashville, Atlanta, Asheville, Charlotte, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, Port Chester, and Toronto on March 8, before continuing to cities such as Detroit, Madison, Minneapolis, Boise, Vancouver, Portland, San Diego, Phoenix, Austin, Dallas, and concluding in Fayetteville, AR on March 28.
Critically celebrated for searing protest tracks like “United Health” — hailed by Rolling Stone as “a John Prine-like ballad” — Welles has a reputation for writing visceral, socially conscious songs that resonate deeply with listeners. He gained national attention with viral performances, and his body of work — including Hells Welles, Patchwork, and Middle — combines personal reflection and unfiltered truth. As noted in The New York Times, Welles “continues the tradition of traveling troubadours, relaying the news, putting pain into words, and healing with a little humor”. The upcoming tour promises to capture that same spirit — intimate, unvarnished, and strikingly emotional.

About Jesse Welles
Jesse Welles is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his gritty, emotionally charged blend of folk, rock, country, and protest music. Hailing from Arkansas, Welles first gained attention for his stark, unfiltered lyricism and a voice that shifts effortlessly from tender vulnerability to raw, full-throated intensity. His music channels the spirit of classic troubadours like Neil Young and Bob Dylan, while carrying the urgency and edge of a modern social commentator.
Welles’ discography includes standout releases like Hells Welles, Pilgrim, Patchwork, Devil’s Den, and Middle, each weaving together personal confession, social critique, and a reverence for American roots music. His 2023 track “United Health,” a scathing takedown of the U.S. healthcare system, went viral and was praised by Rolling Stone for its John Prine-like honesty and biting humor.
What sets Welles apart is his ability to turn personal struggle and collective frustration into cathartic, often confrontational songs that don’t shy away from the harsh truths of life in working-class America. His performances — whether solo or with a full band — are raw, immersive, and emotionally intense, often balancing heartbreak and hope within a single verse.
A fiercely independent artist, Jesse Welles has built a devoted following by staying true to his voice, releasing music on his own terms, and using his platform to challenge systems while uplifting everyday people. Whether through studio recordings or on stage, Welles continues to prove that honest songwriting still hits the hardest.
