Wes Youssi and The County Champs
Honky Tonk, Country, Americana
Wes is a songwriter & musician from Portland, Oregon. Born in Chicago, IL, he spent his formative years living in rural Belvidere(Boone County), surrounded by 2 corn farms and a large swath of empty woods. His passion for country music began at 6 years old listening to his grandmother play Patsy Cline & Jim Reeves records.
In his short life of 38 years he has: bused tables in Indiana, punched someone in the face, been laid-off, married, made children, lived in Detroit, ate a cockroach, shot down a tree, & unknowingly purchased a former cop car. He's presently playing music, meeting great people, & hustling in and around the city of Portland. His dream is to get back to the old woods; before they get cut down.
