Wes Watkins
Wes Watkins is the voice of a powerful past and a hopeful future.
Echoes of the screams of Sly Stone, the cool of Nat Cole, the curiosity of George Clinton, and the power of Nina Simone sound not only in his singing voice but also in his unique, genre-defying compositions.
His lyrical tone, though often serious, is playful and teasing. Wes often jokes about his personalities, channeling a wide range of distinct-sounding characters. Seamlessly switching between a deep, soulful bass and a nasally counterpart, you might forget you’re listening to just one human.
With a career marked by versatility and innovation, you may have seen him in bands such as Wheelchair Sports Camp, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, iZCALLi, Air Dubai...the list goes on and on. But where he really shines is as a bandleader—fronting projects ranging from a 14-piece ensemble, a 40-person choir, an electronic duo, and of course, his intimate solo performances. Each project showcases his ability to connect with audiences on a personal level. His work isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about creating an experience that moves hearts, inspires minds, and strengthens communities. Now, following his 2024 release with Unit E Records, Wes is bringing his powerful and compelling live performances to new markets.
