Quoteworthy



“Wes Weddell has a gift for storytelling, wisdom beyond his years, and a troubadour spirit
that will serve him and his audience for a long time to come.”
-Fran Snyder, concertsinyourhome.com

“Wes is taking his place as one of the new spirits that will perpetuate our beloved musical
traditions and expand them in the process...and those who’ve been entertained
by his touching and funny performances are giving their approval.”
-Percy Hilo, Victory Music Review

“Wes is a hard-working, wonderful musician.”
-The Current

“Hear this accomplished folkie!”
-Hipfish

“A refreshing throwback in these days of synthesized, digitalized,
commercialized performers and performances.”
-Walla Walla Union-Bulletin

“Modern-Day Woody Guthrie.”
-Seattle Times; Yakima Herald-Republic

“Woody with a Website!”
-Three Rivers Folklife Society

“Equipped...with [an] historian’s skills to match his musical talent.”
-Mary Gates Foundation

“He’s doing it the old-fashioned way.
There’re not very many pioneers out there.”
-Jim McGuinn, music writer and record-store owner

“Wes renewed my heart about folk music.”
-Mary Lytle, former Seattle Folklore Society president

“Come see this rising star!”
-Mid-Columbia Folklore Society

“Thank you for all of the miles, interfacing with strangers, expensive gas,
and probably a hurried schedule to bring us such lovely live music...
May your future audiences give back to you in appreciation
as much as you so generously give to them.”
-WW Concertgoer  (2007)

“People are still talking about how priviledged they were to hear you
sing your stories.  Thank you...for sharing so unselfishly”
-WW Concertgoer  (2008)

“He was equally adept on the harmonica as on the guitar, and the narrative tales
of his songs rival many written pieces because his storytelling is so vivid and detailed.
He is definitely a singer-songwriter whose career and music
I plan on keeping an eye and ear upon.”
-WW Concertgoer  (2007)

“Good music, good time!  Thank You!!”
-WW Concertgoer  (2007)
