Multi-Platinum Writer/Artist Jesse Rice Anchors Release Date For “The Pirate Sessions III”
Jesse Rice, a writer on the RIAA Diamond certified longest-running Billboard #1 Cruise, walks the plank between trop-rock and country on The Pirate Sessions III, available on iTunes and online retailers Friday, January 27th. Much like the predecessors Sessions I and II, Jesse raises the sails on a project that takes listeners on a journey to seashores with copper-tone beach goers sharing beers and umbrella drinks.
“The Pirate Sessions is an album series that serves as an escape to a carefree, beachfront good-time for fans,” says Jesse. “I really enjoy not only performing these songs live, but also getting to record them with my friends here in Nashville. Our previous sessions featured Florida Georgie Line and Chase Rice and this one has surprise guests as well.”
Traveling down roads paved by Jimmy Buffet and Kenny Chesney, Jesse’s lead single from the project, Hangout with a Hangover, finds the singer boasting of his expertise in the beach beverage making arena and acknowledges that his actions will have consequences, but he is willing to pay the feel-good sacrifice for a night of fun. “Call me a doctor, a frozen concocter, I’m an expert in the field… I’d rather hangout with a hangover than have no fun at all.”
To kick off celebrations for the new album, Jesse, in true island style, is hosting an album release show on January 27 at the Port Theater in Port St. Joe, FL. Full details are below:
