Musician Wes Weddell will perform live music from 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
For the past twenty years, Wes Weddell has worked multiple shifts in the engine room of Seattle’s roots music scene as frontman, sideman, writer, teacher, and community-builder. “Always heartfelt and well-constructed” (Seattle Weekly), listeners have come to expect Weddell’s regionally rooted songs to “speak for themselves” (No Depression). In 2001 he received the inaugural Mary Gates Venture Fellowship from University of Washington (PBK, Class of 2002) to travel the state and generate songs from the stories he encountered. More recently, Weddell has worked extensively with The Bushwick Book Club Seattle, an expanding collective of songwriters who each compose new music inspired by literature to share in monthly showcases focused around specific books. Along the way he has continued to teach a variety of instruments and styles across generations, helping hundreds find the joy of playing and singing with others.
This Puget Sound-based event hosted in conjunction with The Phi Beta Kappa Society's annual Key Connections programming.
