Wesley Dean

Wesley Dean, formerly known as Wes Carr, is staking his claim as one of the most compelling voices in modern Country and Americana. “[Dean]... seeks to connect with listeners in the kind of universal folk artist way that once propelled artists like Dylan and Springsteen,” raves Glide Magazine. Over the past four years, he’s electrified audiences across the U.S., playing everything from the storied stages of Rockwood Music Hall and The Basement to the raucous energy of Whiskey Jam, SXSW, and AmericanaFest.

From the House of Blues to the high-octane atmosphere of CMA Fest, Dean’s performances have captivated diverse crowds, showcasing his unique blend of authenticity and raw talent. A number one platinum-selling, Golden Guitar-winning artist and winner of Australian Idol, Dean’s collaborations with the elite of the Australian music scene have earned him a reputation as a genre-defying talent. His extensive tours across America have only amplified his presence, solidifying his standing as a rising force in both the Americana and country scenes.

Now, with Crazy Hearts: The Documentary on the horizon for a 2025 release, Dean is deep in the process of capturing his 5,000-mile journey across the U.S. in an RV with his young family. Through intimate live performances and behind-the-scenes footage, Dean is ready to offer fans an unprecedented look into his life on the road, showcasing not just his music but the journey that shapes it.
