Beaumonster : A Memoir
Tour Memoirs - Book - by Jesse Dayton
(2022)
Jesse Dayton's story reads like a who's who of American music. In his
debut memoir Beaumonster, Dayton reveals the stranger-than-fiction
encounters and outlandish experiences that have ensued across his
wide-ranging career. After sneaking into night clubs to play gigs in his
youth, eighteen-year-old Dayton and his trio began packing clubs and
theaters across Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
His first solo
record which featured great luminaries like Doug Sahm, Flaco Jiménez,
and Johnny Gimble, hit number one on the Americana radio charts and then
he was off to the races- touring the world solo and with punk legends
Social Distortion and the Supersuckers. While doing press in Nashville,
he caught the attention of Waylon Jennings and was whisked off to
Woodland Studios, where he was greeted by none other than Johnny Cash,
who told Dayton, "We've been waiting for you."Since then, Dayton's ride
across the entertainment industry, traversing genres and formats, has
only gotten wilder. Whether it's playing guitar on records and film with
the likes of Cash, Ray Price, Willie Nelson, Johnny Bush, Glen Campbell
and Duff McKagan; writing and recording soundtracks for horror
director/rockstar Rob Zombie; directing Malcolm McDowell and Sid Haig in
his own horror movie; filling in for the iconic punk band X's
guitarist; joining Ryan Bingham on tour; or the many solo and guest
projects he continues to work on, Dayton is down to leave his mark,
making Beaumonster a uniquely entertaining tale that will impress new
and old fans alike.
