About Me

London-based singer-songwriter Stephen Jessep writes songs inspired by growing up in the 'blue-rinse' - a quiet conservative haven somewhere in the English Southern Counties for the disaffected middle classes. Out of the restlessness and boredom comes the lust that destroys the characters who populate these songs, tinged with black humour and inspired lyrically by the narrative-led songwriting of Randy Newman, Warren Zevon and Bruce Springsteen.All the songs on this page, and more besides, can be downloaded for free/low-quality-streamed at www.download.com/stephenjessep...
