Wes Blanton, our Bass player, started playing tumpet at age 11. And by the next year, he started playing the drums. Joining his first rock band at age 12, Wes found it no trouble getting the hang of it. Almost like he already knew how to play them. By age 14, he picked up the guitar, and a year later he started playing  bass. Wes has sang from day one. Just as soon as he learned to  talk.

He waited until he was 18 before playing in clubs, and has been playing in them ever since. He has played drums, guitar, and bass throughout his musical career, depending on what the situation was. Here is a chronological list of the bands, and the instruments that Wes has played.
