About Wes

Lots of humor, a smidge of darkness, a fair amount of reflection, and lots of fun.

I’m just a regular dude with regular faults, regular issues, regular struggles, and maybe even a few mental deficiencies… just a dude who happens to have a warped sense of humor and a love for various genres of music.

Musically, I love to make you laugh, cry, and maybe even think about something. Isn’t that what this entire human existence is about anyway? We’re not always up or down. We spend a good bit of time right in the middle, so why can’t a musician’s music be the same way? We can be silly and serious. We can be reflective and sophomoric. That’s what people are, and I’m a person.

A pandemic positive: thanks to the state of the economy, I’ve rediscovered the joy of making music, writing tunes, and performing for others.

Like so many, I feel I have a story to tell, and the best way for me to do that is with a guitar in my hand and a mic in front of me. I love doing this, and I sincerely hope that my stories somehow resonate with you.

More on Wes

 

Wes Herndon is a musical artist originally from Georgia, now residing in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. He began his musical journey, like many Southern artists, in church and later transitioned to the alternative rock scene in his early twenties. After taking a 30-year hiatus from the music industry to pursue a conventional career, he has finally made a return to his passion.

Influenced by a variety of genres, including rock, blues, folk, and country, he has become known for his guitar skills and unique vocal style, which has been compared to Warren Haynes, Chris Stapleton, and John Mellencamp. Wes focuses on writing songs that tell stories and evoke emotions, aiming to create music that has meaning, humor, and purpose.

He currently lives in Florida with his wife, daughter, two dogs, and a cat. His return to music has seen him perform live regionally and regularly release new music. Wes’s music can be found on all major streaming services.
