His music takes the listener on a thought provoking journey with twists and turns, ups and downs. Riding a wave through the conscious themes and energetic beats of this music will leave you with a good soul aching. Keeping true to his roots in singer-songwriter Mountain Folk, Wes pecks at genres by swooping into bluegrass, Americana, pop-folk, beat boxing, etcetera. The semi-tamed wild sound of Wes Urbaniak’s vocals powerfully express the hardships, lessons learned, and beauty in life. As you listen, you’ll be lifted from the valley of the stillness and carried along by the fast-moving, intricate guitar playing, and rise to rollicking emotions.
