This year Wesley planned to record a new album of music, but there’s no sign of it yet.
“I kind of want to document being 40, and I have a whole bunch of songs, lots of music,” he said last February, when gigs were postponed by COVID-19. “I’ve been sitting on it because I was kind of thinking, why put out new music if I can’t play it live, you know?”
Wesley turned 40 last Dec. 30, two days after his show at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom was postponed due to gathering restrictions at the time. Four weeks before that, he was all set to play the Granville Street concert hall when the power went out, forcing a last-minute postponement.
Last Labour Day weekend, on Sept. 2, Wesley and band performed a fine set of songs at Fort 91ԭ Night Market.
Hey it’s the awesome at Fort 91ԭ Night Market on an awesome late-summer night. What a treat!
