Americana artist and Beaumont native Jesse Dayton is best known for his guitar contributions to albums by country musicians including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, Oct 2 at 10:00 a.m. and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.

Dayton was born in Beaumont, Texas, where he was raised on the music of George Jones, Hank Williams, and Lefty Frizzell, all the while harboring an affinity for the spirit of punk with bands like the Clash. After touring with two rockabilly bands, the Road Kings and the Alamo Jets, Dayton ventured off into solo territory, recording his Americana-chart-topping record Raisin’ Cain.

Since then Dayton has released several different solo albums and worked with a variety of country rock artists, most notably Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash on Right for the Time after Jennings injured his picking thumb and required a guitar stand-in.

In 2004, horror film director Rob Zombie commissioned Jesse Dayton to record an album for the fictional characters Banjo & Sullivan from his sophomore feature The Devil’s Rejects. The resulting album was a collection of tongue-in-cheek honky-tonk country entitled Banjo & Sullivan: The Ultimate Collection. In Zombie’s Halloween II, Dayton performs as the lead singer and guitarist of the fictional psychobilly band Captain Clegg & the Night Creatures. He is slated to release an album entitled Rob Zombie presents Captain Clegg & The Night Creatures (music from Halloween II) on August 28, same day as the film Halloween II premiered.

In 2014, he toured with John Doe both as the opening act and a member of Doe’s backing band. In 2015, Dayton played guitar in the band X on their US tour, filling in for Billy Zoom who had been diagnosed with cancer. In 2016 he again toured with John Doe as well being the opener on the Supersuckers European and US tours.

On September 16, 2016, he released his ninth album titled The Revealer on his Hardcharger Records imprint through Blue Élan Records.

Dayton was the featured speaker at the City of Beaumont’s BMT Film Fest in August 2019 and shared his insight about the music and film industry.

With precise attention to every musical detail, along with costume changes, vintage instruments and special effects, Liverpool Legends will make you feel like you are watching the real thing!

The band received national attention as they re-created The Beatles famed 1966 concert at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

In 2012, Liverpool Legends along with Louise Harrison were nominated for a Grammy Award for their work on “Fab Fan Memories” – a Beatles Bond. Recently Liverpool Legends were chosen over every other Beatles Tribute band in the world by top television and film producer Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI, Pirates of The Caribbean, National Treasure) to portray the band that changed the course of music and the world forever. On July 4th, 2014, Liverpool Legends headlined The Rose Bowl in front of 60,000 people!

Members of Liverpool Legends have toured the world, playing in historic venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Cavern Club in Liverpool, recording at the famed Abbey Road Studios in London and performing with Denny Laine (co-founder of Wings with Paul McCartney), Pete Best (the original Beatles drummer) and the Boston Pops.

Marty has had his own accomplished career, performing country music for forty years. But his love for his dad’s music inspired him to begin a tribute show, which he began performing in Branson, Missouri in 2010 before taking the show on the road. Step back in time and learn a little more about the life of Merle Haggard by someone who knew him best. Enjoy an evening of real country music, Haggard style! As Marty says, “This is not an impersonation of my dad. I’m not him, I’m his son. If I sound like ’em, I can’t help it. If I don’t sound like ’em, I can’t help it. One thing my dad always told me was to just be myself, and I can do that.” Marty will be available after the show to meet, greet and sign autographs.

Location: Jefferson Theatre

Time: Doors open at 6 p.m. Show starts at 7 p.m.

Reception: Sunday, December 8, 2019 from 1-3 p.m.

Artist Statement

I have never encountered an insight about traveling that I felt described my experiences as well as this quote from Maya Angelou:
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”

We all tell stories with our lives, whether we realize it or not. That in itself is art. When I stepped foot onto the beautiful soil of Honduras for the first time in September of 2004, my story changed, for the better. I truly believe that the human spirit yearns for wholeness; it thirsts for the sacred knowledge that can only come by the uncomfortable expedition of the heart. I never imagined the impact that my travels would have on me. Now I cannot imagine what my life would be if I had not made these, at times, reluctant journeys. For in them, after all of the fears and trepidation subsided, what I found is when I embraced another person, looked into their eyes, what I saw was me.

Window to the World: The People & the Places is a tribute and celebration of all those that blessed my path with their love, kindness and humanity. They have made my own window by which I see and experience the world that much more robust and sublime. This exhibition is for them.

Grab a camera and tell a story!

-Jerome Cabeen
