Jesse Struckhoff

Jesse Struckhoff is a Northern Colorado guitarist and vocalist best known as the driving force behind Uncle Jesse’s Blues Skillet. Although his original music draws from Blues and Rock traditions, he has developed a reputation for pulling from eclectic influences, often delivering unexpected covers of bands like Pantera, Black Sabbath.....and Lizzo. Around Fort Collins, he is also known for surprise acoustic appearances where those same hard-edged songs take on an entirely different character, sometimes with a wink of humor. Beyond the Blues Skillet stage, Jesse shows his range as a member of the Colorado Coast Guard, a Fort Collins yacht rock cover band known for its playful spirit and performances on Horsetooth Reservoir. The contrast between soulful blues, metal-leaning covers, and breezy soft-rock nostalgia highlights his versatility and unmistakable presence in the local music scene. Jesse has appeared on notable Northern Colorado stages, including Cowbell’s event The Happening at The Lyric, where his performances reflect both his musicianship and deep connection to the regional creative community.
