Jesse Allen Breckenridge Wells, known professionally as Jesse Welles, is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He released his debut studio album, Red Trees and White Trashes, in 2018. Welles previously performed under the name Jeh Sea Wells and was also the frontman of the bands Dead Indian, formed in 2012, and Cosmic-American, formed in 2015. He was also the frontman for the band Welles.
In 2024, Welles garnered attention on social media for writing and performing folk protest songs, including "The Poor", "Cancer", "The Olympics", and "United Health", as well as "War Isn't Murder", a track about the Gaza Genocide. Vulture has described his music as "A mix of old-fashioned folkie signifiers and trending-topic populism, delivered in hooky snippets on social media several times weekly". He has been described as a modern Woody Guthrie.
He also cites "American wordsmiths" Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Cormac McCarthy, and Mark Twain as influences.
In 2023, under the name Jesse Welles, he began playing cover songs on TikTok. After his father lived through a heart attack the following year, he began to write folk protest songs focused on current events. The songs, addressing topics including capitalism, microplastics and the fentanyl crisis in the United States, garnered attention on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
In September 2024, Welles played Farm Aid; he was introduced by Dave Matthews as "one of the best songwriters I've ever heard in my life." He performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live in April 2025.
Welles was honored with the Spirit of Americana/Free Speech Award at the 2025 Americana Music Honors & Awards on September 10, 2025, presented in association with the First Amendment Center. He was also nominated for the Emerging Act of the Year award at the ceremony.
