About Wesley Hodges

Over the last several years, I’ve been a steady contributor to JamBase writing words about music. It has afforded me the thrills of interviewing artists unimaginably more talented, cool and important than I for features (Galactic, Futurebirds, moe., Wayne Coyne, Yeasayer, Perry Farrell and more) and over the past couple years I’ve covered music festivals large and small from Athfest to Lolla, Bonnaroo, and Voodoo. Recently, I began adding my stream-of-consciousness rambles to the Live Music Blog main page and reviews to Relix magazine. Check out Live Music Blog: NOLA and NolaVie frequently (like seriously 20-30x a day) for updates, musings, reviews, features and the occasional audio/visual clip I happen across in my daily internet music scavenges.
