“Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore have shown for the first time that the emotions aroused by joyful music have a healthy effect on blood vessel function.”

So what would my album “Fighting To Be Me” do for you?

It helps you escape – but in a positive way.

And what does “escaping” do?  It reinvigorates your spirit.  Your soul – something that most jobs can drain you of.

“That physiological impact may also affect the activity of brain chemicals called endorphins. ‘The emotional component may be an endorphin-mediated effect,’ says Dr. Miller. The active listening to music evokes such raw positive emotions likely in part due to the release of endorphins, part of that mind-heart connection that we yearn to learn so much more about.  Needless to say, these results were music to my ears because they signal another preventive strategy that we may incorporate in our daily lives to promote heart health.”

So purchase my new album, “Fighting To Be Me.”  It will re-awaken your spirit and helps you “escape” in an easier… more cost efficient way.

What other product has the power to do that?

(As just about everything I have, there are limited quantities.  It’s only $12.95 $9.99 if you buy it now.  I’ll even sign it for you – sorry I can’t sign mp3’s)

“At 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning my elderly aunt called me to accompany her to the emergency room.  She’s fine and all, but what I wanted to share is that I grabbed your CD and took it with me in the car to listen to while I drove to meet her at the hospital, which was 30 minutes away.  I had a chance to listen to your CD twice that morning!  I LOVED hearing you and your music while I was driving in the dark, a bit anxious about my aunt’s well-being.  It really helped to comfort me to hear your music that day!

“Jared Matthew Kessler is an extremely innovative artist and musician. Listening to ‘Awake Again’ and ‘Electronic Aironotic’ really evoked my curiosity for what the rest would be like. Quite honestly, this album is highly diverse from one song to the next and keeps your interest from start to finish. The instrumental tracks all seem to tell a transcendent story without needing words to do so, while the songs with lyrics are captivating and sincere. Choosing a favorite isn’t easy. I definitely recommend this album.”

“Done completely on his own, he’s put together a GREAT collection of soundscapes, melodies and rhythms that compliment one another.”

-Sean Weih

In addition to “Fighting To Be Me” I have two additional albums when I was doing the singer/songwriter thing. “I’m Listening” was recorded live at “The Little Theatre” in Farmington, NM.  The one below that was my first album – recorded in Philadelphia, PA (which you can probably tell by the nice haircut).

Both can be heard or downloaded at www.itunes.com/jaredkessler. If that doesn’t work, please just type “jared kessler” into the iTunes store and hit “search.”

Be good to yourself.  Download a few songs and tell some friends.
