The Home Stretch


Well, folks, I'm officially finished tracking Being Born. I spent the morning recording background vocals with Lindsey Jones, and that officially put the finishing touches on the record. Big thanks to her for lending her voice to the record.

Thanks to those who have already done so. Donate $5 or more and you'll get a free copy when it's ready as well as an early download of the record.

Update: Sam and Wes Build a Leslie

Well, Sam and I finished constructing the Leslie cabinet. It looks great and sounds even better.

I'm going to post pictures as soon as I can, but I had to send off my MacBook Pro because it was damaged. The good news is that they're replacing it with the brand new model. It's a beauty!

New EP - Update

Hey everyone,
I've been working hard on the new EP, to be titled "Being Born." This weekend, I spent time in Josh Wilson's studio, working on electric guitars and auxiliary instruments. On sunday, I tracked vocals with my friends Sam and Abbie. Still on the schedule is tracking strings.

The project should be ready for your ears by the end of the year.

Stay tuned!

Tired of Singing Sad Songs

Last week, I spend three days recording with Sara Beth. We recorded a bunch of great songs, including my favs "Tired of Singing Sad Songs" and "Three Sips of Beauty." With Ben Shive at the helm producing, we set up shop in Sara Beth's living room and recorded a lot of organic performances.

Also in the studio right now is friend Lindsey Jones. Her new EP will be featuring a song called "Honestly" which was co-written by yours truly.






Look for both these projects, along with my new EP Being Born later this year.

You'll be hearing a lot more from him in the coming months.

Nashville Show Added (with poem)

Wednesday, May 14th, Edgehill Studios:

Acoustic show
with friends Sara Beth and Beau Bristow
If you've got 3 bucks, you need to go
If you don't show
believe me, we'll know.
and our sadness, it will truly grow
and you'll become not friend but foe.
so, get in your car, with friends in tow
Head down to Edge Hill Studio.

Coming soon....tshirts!!

Drumroll please....

Ladies and gentlemen, your days of poor fashion choices are about to be over! I'm please to announce that in just a few days, you will be able to purchase your very own Wes Pickering tshirt. I drove out to Franklin today to pick them up. I'm talking SWEET.

It's got everything! Style, wit, class, tear-away tag, it even folds itself. Well, maybe not that, but it's pretty wizard.

I don't have pictures yet, but I'm going to get some of my beautiful friends to model them for you this weekend.

Best of all, they make hugging even more comfortable.

It is finished...it has begun

Well, after many many many hours of trial and error (b/c I am no web-design expert), I've finally got the rest of the site looking like it should. Please enjoy.

There are little random things scattered around on each page that are fun to look at, so take your time and explore.

Also, because of the new and improved format, I'll be updating stuff on a much more regular basis. Be sure to subscribe to the feed to hear about all the latest updates.

grace and peace,
w
