Wes's songs range from lush, finger picked pseudo-folk to edgy dark pop. In addition to being generally catchy, the songs reveal "a deep harmonic concept and an emotional vulnerability rarely seen in todays' commerce-driven music machine" -Kyle Green of The Chronoton. A professional musician in Chicago for 15 years, Wes has been in numerous and varied musical situations including playing in the lost Duke Ellington Musical, "Jump for Joy" to jamming with progressive favorites Umphree's McGee. Several CD's are available on Itunes including The E-mics, MASS, and The more recent WesJohnTrio Live at The Vic.
