BASS
Back in elementary school, Wes & some musical-minded neighborhood buddies formed a rock band. Wes was on bass & vocals. By junior high, they were playing paid gigs at high schools, colleges, and events all over the Pacific NW.
Over the years, Wes has played a gazillion songs & travelled to 1,000+ gigs – mostly on bass & singing in rock cover bands on weekends – in seven states: Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, & Montana.
Wes currently lives in Lansdale, a ‘burb in the Philly metro (for readers outside the area who don't know). Wes plays bass & sings with The Garage Bandits - a party rock cover band that plays all over the Philadelphia/New Jersey region.
Wes has enjoyed - and does enjoy - playing with a plethora of great musicians in various band, jam, and studio session scenarios.

ACOUSTIC ROCK GUITAR | SINGER-SONGWRITER
In addition to 50+ years as a bass player, Wes plays 6-string & 12-string acoustic guitars. He also has a Strat. A Hendrix Strat… While he has written, performed, and recorded many original acoustic rock songs, Wes also performs covers.
Wes plays rock covers from the late 60's through today, with a dash of requested original songs, and can play two to three-hour solo acoustic gigs in small to medium-sized venues within an hour-ish of Lansdale.
