Songwriter and social commentator Wes Carroll makes music that whisks jazz, pop, and hip hop into a new kind of "froth." A dedicated guitarist and vocalist, Carroll channels his creative energy into exploring themes of inequality, surveillance, mental health, and climate change—and love songs too. Following five albums of original music, his next offering, “The Capitalocene EP,” is set for release on April 10, 2026. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto's master's program in jazz performance and now works on faculty at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. He is active in the community as board member of the Worker Solidarity Network and host of the monthly Commie Bop -anticapitalist- Open Mic.
