The Oxted Sessions is delighted to welcome highly revered singer-songwriter Jesse Malin, a staple of the New York music scene since the early 1980s, to the Barn Theatre on Thursday 1st June for a full band show.
As Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) once said ““New York City is the center of the universe, and there is no New York City without Jesse Malin”.
Starting out his music career when he was just twelve years old, fronting seminal New York hardcore punk band Heart Attack, Malin went on to front beloved ‘90s glam punks D Generation, before launching his solo career in the early noughties.
From there, Malin – described by Uncut magazine as a “fearless storyteller” – has recorded nine solo albums and become renowned for his passionate and unifying live shows. Along the way, he has built a dedicated community of fans, including many high-profile admirers, which has led to collaborations – both live and in the studio – with Bruce Springsteen, Billie Joe Armstrong, Ryan Adams and Lucinda Williams to name just a few.
In 2021, Malin released his first ever double album, ‘Sad and Beautiful World’, a record forged in the wild flames of the lost pandemic year, which he described as “for those who pick up the pieces and find beauty in the madness”.
2022 was another busy year, with a triumphant appearance at Glastonbury a highlight amid numerous sold-out headlining shows, and a run of dates with Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem).
This year, there have been shows celebrating the 20th anniversary of his first solo album, the acclaimed and still adored ‘The Fine Art of Self-Destruction’, and Malin now returns to the UK, including a first visit to Oxted!
Tickets for the show which starts at 7.45pm cost £24.00 and are available from www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk
