I hope he doesn’t mind, but I’m copying and pasting the following from Bryan Beller’s BellerBytes email update. (By the way, you should totally sign up for it at the recently redesigned bryanbeller.com).

WesFest 5 Headlining Band: Tal Wilkenfeld, Vinnie Colaiuta, Oz Noy and John Beasley

Yes, that’s right. Tal’s band for WesFest 5, at The Roxy in L.A. on Sunday, 2/28, is as follows:

Oz Noy – guitar
John Beasley – keys
Tal Wilkenfeld – bass
Vinnie Colaiuta – drums

Getting an itchy trigger finger for tickets? Understandable. Go with it:

I’m also really pleased to announce this year’s WesFest sponsors. Their generous and gracious support is key to making this event a success:

Mike Lull Custom Basses
Fender Musical Instruments
D’addario Strings
Lurssen Mastering
DW Drums
EBS Professional Bass Systems

I appreciate, as always, your indulgence in reading about a cause that’s near and dear to my heart, the Wes Wehmiller Scholarship at Berklee College Of Music. This show raises money for that scholarship fund, which benefits some of the best bassists coming out of Berklee today.

And if you’re in L.A. or anywhere close, it’s going to be quite the scene. Check it:
