Most recently, Wes participated in American Patriots, a new theatrical song cycle, with Salina Symphony, directed by Mary Cynthia McGowen and reprised his signature of Billy Bigelow in Carousel with Pensacola Opera, directed by Greg Ganakas. Previously, he wrapped filming with the cast and crew of King’s Blade, taking on the role of King Brennus. Winter of 2020 saw his Off-Broadway debut as Wotan/Gunther/Hagen in On Site Opera’s production of Das Barbecü.
