Jesse James DeConto, a UNC alumnus, uses his experiences reporting for papers and magazines across the U.S. to fuel his songwriting. DeConto is the lead singer and bassist for Durham-based band The Pinkerton Raid. The band just released its first album and is playing an album release show Saturday at the Casbah in Durham.
