This will be Jesse’s third appearance on the nationally distributed public television series. Jesse remarked, “I am looking forward to returning to southwestern Virginia where I know many good friends and fans”. Jesse and his late brother Jim McReynolds were born in nearby Carfax, Virginia and started their performing careers around the Coeburn/Norton area of Virginia in the 1940s.
Jesse is still a regular on the world famous Grand Ole Opry and has recently released another recording that is getting great reviews around the world.
