Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.

When nostalgia intertwines with raw musical talent, you get the essence of Wesley Dean's incredible journey. Imagine the small-town charm of South Australia, where a young Wes Carr, as he was known then, strummed his way from the Johnny Young Talent School to the vibrant Adelaide music scene. Our latest episode takes you through Wesley's heartfelt tales of performing in local haunts and how his family’s unwavering support fueled his ascent to stardom. Sit back as we venture into his past, brimming with cherished memories, and peek into the bustling creativity of his current life in Nashville, where new tunes are always on the horizon.

Confronting the shadows of generational mistakes and the specter of toxic masculinity through songwriting, Wesley Dean doesn't shy away from the tough conversations. In the wake of a heart-wrenching school shooting in his adopted hometown, he shares his stance on gun control and the cultural dichotomy between his Australian heritage and American experiences.

Revel in his pride of collaborating with the legendary Don Walker and recording in the same space as musical greats at RCA Studios. We also raise a glass to his Golden Guitar triumph with Catherine Britt, showcasing how his influence continues to resonate in the music world.
Tune in for an episode that doesn't just sing but speaks—speaking truth, history, and the power of music to heal and connect us all.
