• Wes Weddell: Going from Story to Song

    Richland Public Library 955 Northgate Drive, Richland, WA

    What inspires us? How does one move from inspiration to creative output? Award-winning songwriter Wes Weddell will speak on the process of drawing inspiration from the stories around us and turning that into original content—specifically music. He’ll sing examples of songs he’s written inspired by local stories and a wide range of books, letting attendees vote on which titles they’d like to hear.

    For the past 25 years, Wes Weddell has worked multiple shifts in the engine room of Seattle’s roots music scene, keeping his hands in abundant projects as frontman, sideman, writer, teacher, and community-builder. Along the way he has continued to teach a variety of instruments and styles across generations, helping hundreds find the joy of playing and singing with others. A native of Pullman, WA, Weddell also once held full-time Seattle Mariners media credentials and has participated in a major university study of mountain huckleberry harvesters.

    This lecture is part of the Tri-Cities Community Lecture Series and is hosted by Three Rivers Folklife Society.
