A few years later, they were both multi-award-winners in their fields. Collins more than makes up for lost time with songs so dense with ideas that a first listen only scratches the surface. Come for a haunting melody and some intricate fingerpicking and stay for the wit and deep literary intelligence. There is always more to find in a Wes Collins song. And for this show, the amazing Scott Dameron joins Wes on guitar. Scott’s invention on the guitar brings shade and nuance to any song he plays, and you always, always want to hear more. Come hear Scott deepen the groove.
"Wes Collins has a wonderful gift for telling stories from truly unique points of view. Every narrator in Jabberwockies reveals thoughts I've had, but would certainly be terrified to express. Wes is a courageous songwriter. Wes also has that magical musical sensibility that makes me hit 'repeat' on his songs. He makes my favorite records and he's one of my ultimate favorite musical artists." Jaimee Harris
“Wes Collins’ songs have a way of circling around my mood and elevating it. His music makes me feel better, no matter how my day is going. I congratulate him on his new record Jabberwockies, a stellar collection of new songs, beautiful vocals, and glorious harmonies by Jaimee Harris and Crystal Hariu-Damore. I can’t stop listening to it, I love it!" Mary Gauthier
“He credits many other singer/songwriters in his musical tent as inspiration, including Neil Finn, Gillian Welch, Bruce Cockburn and Patty Griffin, but Collins is well on his way to establishing his own voice as one we should value." North Carolina Arts Council
“One of the best songwriters in the Triangle’s vital Americana quadrant.” David Menconi
