Love The Present

LOVE THE PRESENT with Gimacus Burns is the musical project of singer-songwriter Jesse “Gimacus” Burns, blending indie folk, reggae, storytelling, live looping, and soulful musicianship into an uplifting, high-energy live experience.

With raw vocals, storyteller lyrics, acoustic guitar, saxophone, and live looping, Gimacus Burns brings a warm, creative spirit to every stage—part campfire, part dreamscape, and part folk-reggae dance party.

At the heart of LOVE THE PRESENT is a simple idea: be here, be yourself, and enjoy the moment.The music celebrates connection, acceptance, expression, community, and the little moments that make life meaningful. Whether you’re listening to a stripped-down acoustic song or dancing to a full-band reggae groove, the goal is the same: create a space where people can let go, connect, and love the present.

Jesse Burns has been writing and performing music for years, previously creating music under the name Abandon Theory. LOVE THE PRESENT represents the next chapter of that musical journey—bringing together the songwriting and experience of the past with a fresh sound, positive energy, and a new focus on living in the moment.

Come catch a show, bring your friends, and LOVE THE PRESENT!
