about

Esperanza: Songs From Jack Kerouac’s Tristessa

A leading light of the maverick pack of ‘50s writers who forged the Beat Generation, whose works sparked the cultural revolution of the ‘60s, Jack Kerouac is best known for his exhilarating lust for life, distilling his adventures and his hopes in a series of high-octane novels. While the image of Kerouac as a freewheeling spirit of the open road has endured, his novel, Tristessa reveals his obsession with the darker recesses of human experience.

For Esperanza 19 acclaimed singer-songwriters and bands create songs inspired by Jack Kerouac's bittersweet novella: William Fitzsimmons, Tim & Adam, Gregory Alan Isakov, Peter Bradley Adams, Alela Diane, Wintersleep, Marissa Nadler, Joshua James, Lee Ranaldo (of Sonic Youth), Hey Rosetta!, Will Dailey, Willy Mason, Matt Costa, The Low Anthem, Neal McCarthy with Barbara Kessler, and Tony Dekker with Hanne Hukkelberg.
