Live Performance

Start with the songs. Then put weight behind them.


Current performance sample: “Barstool Saints” performed by Wes Herndon, Andy Gray and Tommy Pituch in an acoustic-trio format. The full electric lineup expands this songwriting and interaction into a larger festival and concert presentation.

Swamp rock with blues-driven guitar, Southern atmosphere and the weight of where the music comes from.

Better Late album cover by The Wes Herndon Band

The Current Chapter

Better Late


After nearly three decades away from music, Georgia-born, Florida-based songwriter Wes Herndon returned with enough life behind him to know what he wanted the songs to say. That return led to The Wes Herndon Band and an 11-song original album recorded at historic Capricorn Studios in Macon.

The complete vinyl edition arrives September 29, 2026. The album gives promoters a current story to market alongside the live show: an artist who returned after the expected window had supposedly closed and made the defining record anyway.

Southern Rock at the core. Blues in the details. Real songs with a little dirt on them.
