“Soon, some goober kid passing himself off as a music reviewer will probably type up some nonsense describing Joe Pollock’s music as “John Fahey meets Radiohead in John Hurt’s turnip truck.” What’s important is that Pollock has stayed true to his music, and his growth over the last several years has been astounding. I sense great things to come.” -Keith Morris

“A classically trained musician who began playing violin at the age of 4, Wes Swing is creating a very unique and personal style of music that is unlike most of what I’ve heard in Charlottesville. By drawing together elements of minimalism and modern classical pieces with expressions of folk that are at times reminiscent of the late Nick Drake, Swing hopes to push upon the boundaries of what defines the singer-songwriter genre.” -Shaun Harvey, C’ville Muse.
