Jesse Winchester
Jesse Winchester
Bossier City, UScountry, rock, folk
19.5m all-time streams (13 Feb '26)
Jesse Winchester was the music world's most prominent Vietnam War draft evader, though his renown came from a body of wry, closely observed songs.
After growing up in Memphis, Winchester received his draft notice in 1967 and moved to Montreal, Canada, rather than serve in the military.
