Wes Leslie and His Deadley Medley

Genre: Blue Grass
Description:
It sounds like Wes Leslie should be a folk singer, but that alone doesn’t make him one. No, it’s his roots, his family story, that led him on this journey. Inspired by romantic tales of his great-grandfather hopping trains to come out west, and with a beat-up acoustic that his mother taught him how to finger pick, Wes took off to find California and follow his family tradition. But you can’t hop freight trains that easily today.
