Jesse Malin

Jesse Malin is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter whose music reflects the heart of his hometown, New York City. As part of D Generation, he kept the spirit of '70s glam and punk alive during the height of grunge. He did better as a solo artist, realigning himself with the rawer side of Americana in the 2000s, then working as a rock & roll troubadour, bashing out albums and playing concerts at a steady pace. Malin reinvented himself as a solo artist with 2003's The Fine Art of Self Destruction, and 2021's Sad and Beautiful World gave him the room to explore both sides of his muse. After a medical crisis compromised his ability to walk and perform, Malin's friends and fans showed their support with a tribute album, Silver Patron Saints: The Songs of Jesse Malin, while the artist issued a live album and film, 2024's Chasing the Light.
