Sioux Falls guitarist Jesse Christen has released a new CD, “Gate of Charity.” It features instrumental jams Christen describes as his “best shot at reaching a higher state of consciousness.” The other players on the CD are bassist Tom McGovern and drummer Carl Holloman, Jr. Christen played in the Pomp Room favorite, the Sneakies, and was more recently a member of the Blues Bashers, a band featured earlier this year on SDPB’s No Cover, No Minimum Radio.
