Wes Lee & Th' Possum Foot Mojo - Lucky 7 (2017)

His early start as a trombone player, following his dad's lead, established a stage presence that is not easily forgotten. After years touring as Mr. Tone with the Blues Funk Revival (1997-2002), he segued out of Mississippi and into St. Louis following the call of the music. After three years and a suitcase full of lyrics born from those experiences, he returned to Mississippi to reignite what sustained him before, only this time, he showed us Wes Lee, the man.
Playing in a variety of venues alone or with as many members of the band for which occasion calls, Wes Lee is a man of many talents. He admits that he pulls from not only blues and funk, but also such diverse genres as rockabilly, and shyly admits behind his hand in a whisper-disco. Many events call for him to deepen his breadth and widen his range to reach the masses. He candidly states that if he could belt out the top forty, he might try that, but it's just not in him. He has to stay the course.
