Wes Weddell & Joe Jencks

In the spring of 2001, Pullman-native Wes Weddell captivated the region with his efforts to chronicle stories from Washington residents in song. Hailed a "Modern-day Woody Guthrie" by the Seattle Times, his resulting "My Northwest Home" CD features nine original tunes based upon his findings, including "Lakeside Summer Home" from Spokane!

With a remarkable tenor voice and songwriting chops to match, Joe Jencks has built a career based as much upon ministering to the human spirit as it is in the performance of music. A frequent collaborator of Pete Seeger, Utah Phillips, Holly Near, John McCutcheon, and other folk music heavyweights, Joe has earned national recognition for his songs about working people and for his unique merging of musical beauty, social consciousness, and spiritual exploration.
