Recording artist Will Wesley was sneaking into bars at 15 with a beard to disguise his age, to captivate audiences with his beat-up guitar on stage.
Will's musical journey began in the Baton Rouge blues scene and touring with legends like Larry Garner and winning the New Orleans regional division of the International Blues Challenge twice, he later served as the Music Director for Grammy-winning Blues Artist Grady Champion.
In 2020, he collaborated with producer Phil Chandler on the album "Both Sides of the Tracks," featuring the top charting popular single “Attitude."
Will's career soared, touring globally and collaborating with Swiss Rockabilly Star Florian Fox.
And despite a career that has already found him touring globally, this is somewhat a new beginning for Will Wesley as he finds himself ready to conquer country music and the world.

Between 1939 and 1942, Glenn Miller led The Glenn Miller Orchestra, which became one of the most recognized names globally during the “Swing” era. Boasting an unmatched series of chart-topping records, The Glenn Miller Orchestra surpassed the sales of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Jimmie Lunceford, Tommy Dorsey, and Harry James combined.
Throughout three and a half years, Miller produced 16 chart-toppers and 72 top-ten hits, including a remarkable 31 in 1940 alone and earning the first-ever gold record for “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” Miller's music not only defined the era of World War II but has endured as a timeless soundtrack, with bands carrying his legacy performing to enthusiastic crowds over the 80 years since his passing.
Today, under the musical direction of Erik Stabnau, the current Glenn Miller Orchestra maintains a rigorous schedule, standing as one of the few full-time big bands still thriving in the contemporary music scene.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra is celebrating the 80th Anniversary Of The Army Air Force Band.
