This one’s a beauty. Based on the life of cowboy singer Johnny Bencomo, “Deep In My Heart Is a Song” is the story of a musician who is asked to play a very special private show.

Swipe to hear and see how director @jphowdy made this sweet little ditty. #vimeostaffpick by @ryan_dent

Days later conversations still wrestle inside me. The education system fails at teaching colonized America’s burden on our land’s original people. The forgotten people. People in my own backyard, the state I call home, that I’ve been willfully ignorant to my whole life. Resilient in one of the harshest climates of anywhere while forcefully abiding to a system created for anyone but them. taken in Lechee, Arizona by @ryan_dent

JESSE — Don’t really know when the best time to put something like this out. Given all that’s happening in the world these days it feels like an inconsequential & trivial time to show creative work. Though, after sitting on this project for nearly a year maybe now is as good of a time as any.

There’s few things in my life that I remember as vividly as seeing Jesse play on TV for the first time. As a kid, I still can remember almost every moment, every note. However, the gravity of that point in time in 2001 was lost on me. I was too young and too naive to contextualize what happened months prior.

Early last year @antoniojanss and I sat down with Jesse and talked for nearly three hours about music, family, work and life - the past, present and future. I’ve been fortunate to work with Jesse on a number of projects in the past, but always felt there was quite a bit of his story left untold. This was a project derived from a little dissatisfaction in that previous work and the motivation to hopefully do something a bit more meaningful than before. This short piece is an excerpt pulled from that conversion. The experience of sharing an openness and a creative space with Jesse will always stay with me. Link in bio. by @ryan_dent
