Eric Wesling

Eric Wesling has quickly established himself as one of the finest young guitarists in San Diego. Eric started playing guitar at a young age at Crown Point Junior Music Academy. His passion for music and the guitar led him to Mission Bay High School where he was selected to perform with the Preservationists. This ensemble allowed him to grow as a soloist and performer, traveling to New Orleans and Japan with the group. Eric currently studies with local jazz guitarist Joey Carano. He also performs in the Young Lions Series, curated by local jazz great, Gilbert Castellanos. Under his instruction, Eric has performed at Copley Symphony Hall, Tedx Talks, the Next Generation Jazz Festival and The Fullerton Jazz Festival. Eric recently was accepted to the Berklee College of Music in Boston and received a $30,000 scholarship while attending the Berklee Summer Jazz Guitar Workshop.
