Elonzo Wesley

Elonzo Wesley began in January 2015, shortly after the breakup of Charlotte NC’s Elonzo. After moving from Atlanta in the mid 2000’s, singer-songwriter Jeremy Davis (Elonzo Wesley) formed the indie rock band, naming it after his father. The band self-released three full length records and two EP’s, touring the Carolina’s and Southeast. By December of 2014, after slowly disbanding for some time, another chapter in this story began.

With 3 full length albums, hundreds of shows, and a few years under his belt, Jeremy Davis will continue to carry his father’s name as a moniker and guide. Elonzo Wesley, at it’s best is; the musical truth of the moment, combined with the beauty and sadness of what has passed.

Currently, EW is performing as a solo artist and also with a string band.
"We'd only heard Elonzo Wesley via audio and YouTube videos. But the energy, talent and sheer musicianship they brought to The Wake Forest Listening Room just blew everyone away. They have an incredible presence on stage. We're definitely going to have them back!"

What started out as an indie-rock band called Elonzo some years ago, has developed into a string project by the band's singer/guitarist, Jeremy Davis. Elonzo Wesley now features a stand-up bass, fiddle and mandolin, which create solid sonic layers, while tight vocal harmonies only enhance Davis' personal and emotional lyrics.”

"There’s something achingly vulnerable in singer-songwriter Jeremy Davis’ voice that renders the plaintive acoustic music of his band Elonzo Wesley all the more affecting. Over a percussive mandolin and a mournful fiddle, Davis seems to be pouring his heart out in a deeply sad, crystal-clear cry that forms the center of the band’s music. It has the trappings of acoustic Americana, but there’s something more emotional going on here that’s hard not to be moved by. Maybe it’s what good Americana should be."
