Wes Herndon

Original artist and performer with a catalogue of over 2 hours of original material that I interweave with a few select cover tunes. Can perform as a solo artist or with my backing band. Our actual genre can be described as mix of Americana, Dirt Road Southern Rock, Blues, and Jam Band style music.

For full band shows, we can play as a 3 piece or depending on venue size, maybe larger. We aren’t shoe gazers. We love to interact with the audience and perform. My original work would be akin to The Allman Brothers Band meets the Wood Brothers with a dash of Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Govt Mule, Tom Petty, and Jimi Hendrix.

Real Instrument based Dirt Road Rock and blues with vocals akin to Chris Stapleton meets Warren Haynes. The few covers we do play are from bands such bands as The Allman Brothers, Tom Petty, Chris Stapleton, and similar acts. Each show is unique and can feature a variety of tunes.

Seasoned show pros who are professional and playful with the audience. We understanding that entertainment is an integral part of a solid musical performance and benefits the booking venue when applied properly. We’re not just going to stand on stage and play songs back to back. We give your venue’s patrons a fun night to remember that’s different than any other musical act out there. Think Tenacious D meets Music Festival.

Primarily originals but some of the covers often played include:
