Details:
Born in Brooklyn NY, Jared Kessler grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey, living a very unique story between doing what is impossible and doing what is necessary. Raised with middle income values, his passions always faced the opposite direction by communicating through the written word and his music. Originally wanting to go to art college, his dad was more concerned with having him earn a living like everyone else in the family. Having grown up in the early 80âs when divorce wasnât too popular and musicians were a figment of the imagination, Jared escaped to college 6 hours away from any distractions between who he is and what his parents tried to sell him. A highly creative and intelligent individual, Jared Kessler constantly raises the bar in his performances as a writer and as a musician. Receiving national press recognition for some of the accomplishments he made happen in his 20-30 shows a month when he first started as a career (in 1997), Jared was never really who he was as a musician, until recently. His written images in music and literature are both raw and spontaneous with thoughtful details and attention to building a memorable tale. Kesslerâs current work reflects a colorful song and eclectic taste of what he observes through a filter of personal experiences between a cup of green tea, a beat up journal, a computer, a guitar, a keyboard and a microphone (longest green tea sipping time: 5 hours 4 minutes and 27 seconds).
