Wes Carroll
Wes Carroll (born September 27, 1970) is one of the pioneering practitioners[1] of vocal percussion in contemporary a cappella music. He is credited as a primary teacher[2] 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.
Carroll also teaches mathematics and is a puzzle enthusiast.
