Wes Swing is a cellist, singer and multi-instrumentalist from Virginia. His music is best characterized as dream-folk and has been described as Radiohead mixed with classical and "a rich and lilting soundscape”. In live performance, Wes loops his cello and violin, combining layered strings and lyrics imbued with poetry. His musical journey began as a four-year-old violinist, developing an early appreciation for classical music, and finding his true musical love in the cello while at university.

Wes Swing's music is featured regularly on NPR and is used by several modern dance companies, and the band has toured throughout the US and Europe.
