Jess Roden (born 28 December 1947) is an English rock singer, songwriter and guitarist.
He formed The Jess Roden Band (originally Iguana – based in Southampton).
The initial album sessions were with Steve Smith (and featured Steve Winwood on Hammond organ), but these were eventually discarded in favour of producer Geoff Haslam, with whom the group's first two studio album were recorded – Keep Your Hat On and Play It Dirty, Play It Class.
A major touring draw, the band never achieved significant record sales and disbanded in early 1977.
This was after the release of their live album, Blowin', which was recorded during capacity shows at Birmingham Town Hall and Leicester University in late 1976.
Their final show was, however, also recorded and later issued as Live at the BBC
