Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding)

Wesley Stace was born in Hastings, East Sussex in 1965. He released many albums under the name John Wesley Harding before switching back to his birth name for more recent recordings, including 2021’s Late Style and the monumental limited-edition Secret Series, for which he revisited his entire discography for new solo acoustic releases.

Stace has recorded duets with Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed and Rosanne Cash, among other contemporaries.

He has published four novels, including the international bestseller Misfortune, and recently co-wrote Mark Morris’ memoir Out Loud. He also created and is the impresario of Cabinet of Wonders, a cabaret-style multi-artist show that plays at New York City’s City Winery, and which The New Yorker called “one of the finest nights of entertainment this city has to offer.”

Stace has taught at Princeton, Swarthmore and Fairleigh-Dickinson, and writes regularly for the Times Literary Supplement and the Wall Street Journal. He lives in Philadelphia.
