He s played a lot of shows with a number of bands, but Tuesday s gig at The Art We Are is something special for guitarist and songwriter Jesse DeFehr.
The Celista bluesman is flying solo this time and, on top of that, he hasn t yet turned the page on age 17. I do acoustic and electric blues, he explained. I kind of play them into each other.
The Chase secondary student has been called a prodigy, although I wouldn t exactly call myself that, he noted. But others seem to think I am.
At an age when most guitarists are rock-steady aspirants - rattling their parents light fixtures - DeFehr has a more eclectic repertoire currently centred around the blues: I don t have boundaries.
