In a delicate downpour of rhythm and steel, the Son of the San Lorenzo is born. With it, California’s Central Coast – and Jesse Daniel’s home – comes into focus, a distant harmonica whispering through the Redwoods, assured strings slithering along the winding creeks, the steady beat of a bass drum like one determined foot in front of the other.
“I'll always know that for better or worse / Blessing or curse, I'm a Son of the San Lorenzo,” the artist willfully croons on his new album’s title track.
With his fifth studio release and follow-up to 2024’s road-worn anthology, Countin’ The Miles, Daniel felt the need to look back before he could move forward. The result is his most personal effort yet as he documents a misspent youth, time lost to the throes of addiction, and the long road that has led him to where he was meant to be.
