PRETTYFUNKDUB

Vintage-vibed instrumental funk, reggae, dub, old-school hip-hop, and soul from Tacoma's Jesse Turcotte.

PRETTYFUNKDUB is Jesse Turcotte's solo live-looping project: a laid-back, vintage-vibed blend of instrumental funk, reggae, dub, old-school hip-hop, and soul. The public story is refreshingly direct: Jesse has been a working PNW musician since 1993, and this project lets him build a full-band sound alone with guitar, bass, keys, percussion, drum loops, and Ableton Live. Instead of a Spotify catalog, the proof lives in long-form YouTube sets and recurring local gigs. Recent public traces point to a still-active 2025-2026 calendar around Tacoma, Packwood, Crystal Mountain, Woodinville, North Bend, Des Moines, and Cider & Cedar, with full-show clips documenting the actual vibe. Crystal Mountain's local-artist writeup frames it well: Tacoma's own Jesse Turcotte creating a full-band sonic journey from loops, built for parties, events, and celebration. This page should feel less like a release landing page and more like a booking/listening hub for a one-person groove engine.
