Wesley Hardisty

Wesley Hardisty is an amazing young fiddler who lives on Salt Spring. He played at the Fall Fair today. Fantastic to watch him. He's so into the music.
In 2012, Wesley won the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Award for the best fiddle CD. Here's a little blurb from that site:
Wesley Hardisty is one to watch! Wesley's fiddle playing is unique, emotional and compelling. Still in his teens, he has an impressive resume- including the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission national event in Inuvik and a performance for the Royal Couple Will and Kate. Wesley was featured on Aboriginal Peoples TV show Breaking New Beats as one of the cutting edge young Aboriginal talents in Canada.
His story is amazing and inspirational. If you'd like to hear him play, please click on the video link here.
Yesterday, his siblings Marie and Brendan joined him on stage. It was so cool to see them perform together. There are some photos here.
