maturity is refreshing. He has a lightness
of touch and a delicacy to his phrasing that
sets him apart . . . So remember the name,
Wesley Hardisty — fiddler, songwriter, multi
instrument, inspirational speaker, role model
and recording artist. I’m sure we are going
to be hearing a lot more from him in years to
come — just remember you read it here first!”

- Tim Readman, Penguin Eggs magazine.

« Wesley fusionne des influences autochtone,
rock, country et folklorique qui produisent un
son musical qui attire I’attention... Dans un
univers ol bon nombre de jeunes violonistes
cherchent a impressionner par un jeu aussi
rapide et soutenu que possible, sa subtilité
et sa maturité surprennent agréablement. La
légéreté de son doigté et la délicatesse de son
phrasé le placent dans une catégorie a part.
N’oubliez pas Wesley Hardisty. Je suis str
que vous allez entendre beaucoup parler de ce
violoniste, compositeur, multi-instrumentiste,
conférencier motivationnel, modéle et artiste
de studio d’enregistrement. Mais rappelez-
vous bien que vous avez lu son nom ici! »

- Tim Readman, revue Penguin Eggs.
