When Jesse was thirteen years old his brother, Aaron Sprinkle, sixteen at the time, asked him to play drums in their band. Jeremy Enigk shared vocals, but would later leave to form the legendary Sunny Day Real Estate. Three years later Jesse’s band, Poor Old Lu, signed to Alarma Records, and the Sprinkle brothers began touring full-time. Four full-lenth studio albums and an EP were released within a short period of four years before Poor Old Lu broke up in 1997… when Jesse was 21.
In 1996 Jesse Sprinkle recorded a classical guitar instrumental album called Sunsites, with Phil Peterson backing him on cello. After Poor Old Lu broke up Jesse began releasing acoustic-driven solo albums under the name The World Inside, where Jesse tracked every instrument, and three albums were released through Organic and Paste. In 1998 Sprinkle began producing and engineering in his Mackie studio in Danville, New York, but had difficulty due to his relentless touring.
Jesse Sprinkle is most notably renown as Demon Hunter’s drummer, whose music videos were cast in heavy rotation on MTV. Two albums later he left Demon Hunter and switched drumming seats with Dead Poetic. He has tracked as a studio drummer for numerous bands on Tooth and Nail at his brother’s request, though his name is not always credited.
Other bands and projects that Jesse Sprinkle has recorded or performed with include: Serene, Holiday Runner, The Wrong Mind, A Cold Vein, Clive Staples, Dinner Mint, The Color Nature, Morellas Forest, Kutless, Paul Wright, Burning Daylight, Dolour, The Lashes, Denison Witmer, Starflyer 59, Michael Knott, and many others.
