about

N e s s is a songwriting and production duo formed by Jesse Weisberg (20) and Ethan Peck (23). About two years ago, Ethan, who had long been writing songs, heard Jesse’s singing voice while playing Rockband and convinced him to take up the guitar and start singing seriously. With little prior music experience aside from the trumpet, Jesse taught himself guitar and began writing songs in a matter of months. By then, Jesse and Ethan started playing together, recording countless voice memos of live sessions until they realized that there was a natural songwriting dynamic worth pursuing. The two began experimenting in Ethan’s basement on Logic with a usb microphone and a broken mandolin that Ethan haggled from a beach peddler– the product was ‘Behind the Couch.’ Excited by the creative process of writing, recording, and producing, Jesse and Ethan continued to write more songs and develop their sound. The duo has since come a long way in terms of recording and performing, playing shows at PIANOS NYC, Rockwood Music Hall, The Bowery Electric, and most recently at The Studio at Webster Hall for the release show of their debut EP, “A Second to Think” which they released independently via cd and digital download. Similar to their earlier demos, the EP was written and recorded entirely on a laptop in Ethan’s basement. Jesse and Ethan are confident in their creativity and ability to work as a team, but are always open to and searching for new talent, collaborations, and producers/mixe
