Tipsy Teeze | Morgantown, WV
Wes Shipp will be performing with special guests Ben Benson and Clay Justice at Tipsy Teeze in Morgantown, West Virginia on September 20th, 2024.Wes comes out of Florida with a voice comparable to Kentucky's native son, Keith Whitley. After many years spent traveling, busking, and trying to survive while being addicted to drugs, Wes knows what it means to struggle, to fight for everything he wants in life. By grace and an amazing voice, he has not only put his demons behind him, he has excelled in doing so.
He was filmed outside of the North Little Rock Walmart busking while in active addiction. His talent could not be denied as the video took off on a trajectory to viraldom. Since that video, Wes has kept the momentum going by writing original songs that weave a story that anyone can relate to like the tear-jerking "My Old Man", the outlaw story of survival "Back Here in Ocala", and his newest hit "Citrus County Jail".
He has played with some of the greats like Billy Don Burns multiple times over the last couple of years as well as rising outlaw country's finest musicians like Whey Jennings, yes Waylon's grandson, and had co-writes with Whey, Creed Fisher, Jared Hill & Cass Jones.
