Wes Hoffman has written over 50 songs in a year, toured 924 Gilman, and built two music communities from an Instagram account. He also says the thing most musicians don't want to hear: good songs will only take you so far.

Wes Hoffman is a St. Louis singer-songwriter, frontman of Wes Hoffman and Friends, and the founder of 314 Punk and Frequency Midwest. New record out in October — and there's a St. Louis festival announcement coming in August.","meta_description":"Everything in the block below goes straight into the YouTube description field.
