The Wes Carroll Confabulation walks the tight-rope, balancing detailed arrangements with the power of spontaneity. Since 2015, they have honed their unique blend: stretching out into a world of hip-hop grooves, soul and electricity while not losing their jazz footing. Their set blends Carroll's distinct, hip-hop-inspired singing, dynamic guitar solos, and modern-jazz horn lines with themes that include that include the rising cost of living, sexual humor, re-imagining masculinity, distraction, hopelessness, and quirky love. Wes has traveled the world, playing concerts in the EU, the UK, across Canada, and the US. In 2021, he finished a Masters in Jazz Performance as a guitar major at the University of Toronto and has since become faculty at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. While focusing on his own sound he also learns from the greats with side-projects that include “Wes plays Wes” (a tribute to Wes Montgomery), and PIGS: Canada's Most Authentic Pink Floyd Tribute where he performs as Roger Waters. The Confab are currently promoting their third studio album "Helium" (Released May 24, 2024 through Flatcar Records) and will be releasing "The Capitalocene EP" this summer.

Voir Dire is an ever changing, ever mutating field recording of the ether The entheogenic soundtrack set to the life of a coastal wave. A primal orchestration of distortion. A celestial transmission from the core of the Earth. Enjoy the ride, as they capture, distill and repeat the most apogee moments of improvisation like sonic amulets for your listening pleasure.
