Jesse Solomon

Jesse Solomon brings decades of guitar craft to The Garrison in Toronto on May 21, 2026. Raised between Spain, England and the U.S. before settling in Colorado, the American guitarist cut his teeth at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, then shaped a sound with rock at its core and melody upfront. From early bands Screamin’ O and Windfall to Strapless, his hard-rock outfit that moved from covers to originals (Luck of the Draw, Peace by Piece), he’s always balanced chops with song sense.

His solo path opened with the instrumental Fire! Ready, Aim, a snapshot of precise picking and clear hooks, later widening into funk and jazz hues with B SUITE and a more instrumental-forward drive in ManAtomic’s Fingerprints. On stage he threads rock bite with bluesy turns, tight grooves and clear, singing lines, drawing on years as a session player, touring partner and teacher. Expect a set that shifts from muscular riffs to lyrical instrumentals, folding in new pieces alongside standouts from across his projects.
