In Wichita, Kansas a young man by the name of Jessee Keraly is getting a lot of buzz for his music. Going under the name Halfway Deserted Jesses soft voice mixed with seemingly effortless guitar playing are a perfect mixture for success. Due to technical difficulties the interview could not be videotaped even though we do have a video of him singing one of his songs above. Check him out at www.myspace.com/halfwaydeserted
