Wes Carroll

Wes Carroll (born September 27, 1970) is one of the pioneering practitioners [New York Times, "Doo-Wop-A-Doo Will No Longer Do", June 22, 1997] of vocal percussion in contemporary a cappella music. He is credited as a primary teacher [Casa.org, "A Cappella Originals from CASA", August 17, 2006] of this art form, primarily through instructional videos and DVDs first created in the late 1990s.

He was the founding vocal percussionist for the Boston vocal band Five O'Clock Shadow, and later joined the San-Francisco based "rock band without instruments" The House Jacks, founded by Deke Sharon.
