JESSE TURCOTTE has been a huge music fan and working musician in the PNW since 1993.  This is his first solo project, where he  plays guitar, bass, keys and percussion along with backing beats in Ableton Live to create PRETTYFUNKDUB.  These one-man sonic expeditions are improvised in spirit, but pass through deep cuts and mega-funky hits that are recognizable to most!  These laid back funky vibes are designed with the primary purpose of accessing and spreading joy to everyone, everywhere possible! 

​

To give you a sense of the vibe, here is a list of Artists who are often quoted on the mission:

​

Bill Withers, War, Lettuce, Khruangbin, Ikebe Shakedown, Grateful Dead, Anderson Paak, Curtis Mayfield, The Police, Steel Pulse, Katchafire, Isaac Hayes, Gang Starr, Dr Dre, Lauryn Hill, Isley Brothers, Ernest Ranglin, Tom Misch, Warren G and Nate Dogg, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix,  Tom Misch, David Bowie, Al Green, Blackstreet
