Wes Hufnagel is a rarity in the music industry with an incredible past. From decorated paratrooper to full-time family man, this eclectic acoustic artist redefines what you might expect from a coastal singer songwriter.
His original music reflects his incredible stories and excitement for the duty of fatherhood. Leaning into the lyrics heavier than most, he keeps his acoustic delivery simplified, raw and emotionally driven. His sound is reminiscent of 90’s acoustic rock with a folky twist. From cowboy chord singalongs to fingerpicked renditions from artists like Bob Marley, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, Tom Petty, Ben Harper, and countless others, he can help any audience “Take It Easy”.

April 15, 2022We hired Wes to perform as a solo acoustic act for our neighborhood block party and we couldn't have been happier! Wes kept the crowd entertained (20 - 30 guests) with popular covers, upbeat sing alongs and a light mix of his own original work - which we all loved! Alot of my friends enjoyed dearly his original style of folk, blues with harmonica that he sprinkled in throughout the 3 hour set. Wes also shared some fun stories about his impressive military background and just made the whole evening delightful. Fun to work with and quite the professional, I would highly recommend. Thanks Wes for filling our evening with great music and making it a fun and memorable night!

I offer a unique blend of many styles to include popular sing-along cover tunes from 80s and 90s alternative to classic rock/reggae plus folksy tunes played with harmonica. I’m great for a relaxing environment where an audience wants both entertainment and a chill vibe.

I have my own professional sound system and/or can plug into house sound. I can take center stage and/or set up in a corner space for smaller venues/homes - just need 1 outlet to get things going!
Here’s a few covers from my set (but not the whole list)...
Time of your life, Greenday
Redemption Song, Bob Marley
Wonderwall, Oasis
Stand By Me, Ben E King
Dock of the Bay, Ottis Redding
Patience, Guns and Roses

I have a wide range of influences. My wheelhouse is 90s alternative such as Nirvana, STP, Oasis…etc. but I also love Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and a number of acoustic blues artists such as G Love!
I have all my own sound equipment.
