Hey there! Welcome to another episode of Backstory Sessions. Today, we have the pleasure of catching up with the ever-talented Will Wesley, who’s back for his second visit.

Will’s been busy since we last chatted. He’s gone from spreading Christmas cheer with his version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" to releasing his latest single, "Honky Tonk USA." We dive into the backstory of this country anthem, his inspirations, and the state of classic country music today.

But that’s not all. Will shares some heartwarming stories about his family’s involvement in his music videos, his nomination for three Josie Awards, and his upcoming European tour. We even get a sneak peek into his new, deeply personal project, "12 O'Clock in Texas," which touches on the emotional journey after the loss of his brother to addiction.

So, grab your headphones, settle in, and join us for a great conversation with Will Wesley. You won't want to miss this one!
