about

Jesse Thomas Lacey (born July 10, 1978) is an American musician from Levittown, New York. He is the lead singer of the band Brand New. As well as being the lead singer of Brand New, he also plays guitar and piano and writes most of the band's songs and lyrics.

Before Brand New, he played in The Rookie Lot, featuring fellow Brand New bassist Garrett Tierney and drummer Brian Lane, as well as future Movielife member Brandon Reilly. Previous to this, he had a short spell in Taking Back Sunday where he played bass and backing vocals on old records. Two notable songs he features on are: "Go On" and "Summer Stars" from the band's self-titled EP.
