Wes’s insatiable curiosity about the inner workings of music theory, along with his cross training in modern and classical styles, gives him a unique passion for bringing a fresh perspective to classic tunes.

In his free time, Wes enjoys spending time with his wife and pet bird. You might even find him playing an old Nintendo game or two in between gigs.
