What can I say? I hate talking about myself, so I'll give you the basics. I've been playing for 18 years now. Since attending Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, I've enrolled in and finally finished at Jacksonville University with a B.M. in music performance. I've played with Santana at age 11, and currently perform in the local bands "Something Distant" and "Telescope." Every Sunday you can catch me at Access Church @ UNF or New Life at Park Street. Every now and then I sub for various groups and perform jazz and classical in solo and duo settings.
I teach guitar at Jacksonville University, Schroeder's School of Music, and Music of Note. I have an awesome fiance and a pet poodle that belongs to my mom. If I'm not performing, teaching, or recording, you'll probably find me hanging out with my fiance in St. Augustine (away from the annoying poodle). If you want to know more about my life...ask!

I hear the rock, and some jazz. Would "Outside your door with Josh Slack" constitute two-step?...Sorry, that's the overly analytical academe side of me twisting it's head around like a possessed child. Please help me...
Anyway, great stuff Wes! I love your music....keep it coming. Are you guys out in Texas?
That's cool. I've been crazy busy with recording, school, work, family, and my band. I want to come check out your studio sometime. I free this friday night and I think Saturday all day. Just let me know.
Hey Wes, I hope all is well with you. This is a short video about my bands last tour in Mexico. Hit me up when you get a chance. I hope to see you in Florida this Fall.
