Wesley Corbett

A native of Bainbridge Island, Washington, Wes Corbett began classical piano at the age of four but was converted to the banjo during high school, studying with Dave Keenan, Bill Evans, Dennis Caplinger, and Seattle-based guitarist John Miller. For the past four years Wes has been composing and arranging original music for banjo and hammered dulcimer with Simon Chrisman, also a native of Bainbridge. The two have performed together in New Old Stock, with Nate Leath and Tristan and Tashina Clarridge, and recorded an album, slated for release on Patuxent Records in 2007, featuring Jordan Tice on guitar. In the past several years Wes has appeared with numerous musicians and bands, including the David Grisman Quintet, Matt Glaser, and Crooked Still. Since relocating to Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts in the fall of 2006, he has opened for Tony Rice with Lincoln Meyers and String Alliance, toured with Joy Kills Sorrow, and performed throughout New England with many other Boston-based musicians, among them Flynn Cohen, Jake Armerding, Roger Williams, and Zack Hickman. Wes joined the Biscuit Burners in November of 2006. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
