About Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding)

Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding) may well be the best UK songwriter you’ve probably never heard of! Resident in the USA since the early nineties, he's been joined on stage by Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and John Prine to name just a few, and his songs have been sung by, among others, Rosanne Cash, Tanya Donelly, Graham Parker, Josh Ritter and Wreckless Eric.

This will be his first gig in Edinburgh for at least 15 years. His live shows are always worth catching: expect an evening not only of great songs, but also a healthy serving of razor sharp wit and wisdom.
