Big news #KantKon fans, we're officially a semifinalist in the prestigious and long-running International Songwriting Competition! #ISC2022SEMIFINALIST Dr. Wes has written several new songs over the past year over multiple new genres, now with enough material for a full album and bonus EP; we've been on a bit of a hiatus with public postings amid all the background work, training, and post-production among other duties over the past few weeks and months, but rest assured we haven't been idle. As mentioned we've spread our wings and branched out to four new genres building on our foundation in alt rock, sending a sample of the new productions to the ISC; we're therefore grateful and excited to announce this special honor. A great thanks to the ISC for recognizing our hard work as our submissions move through the contest, and for all you loyal fans and followers out there, we'll be following up with sneak peeks of the new music and remasterings going forward. Stay tuned and rock on! . We are KantKon.

Dr. Wes is back in the studio everyone, with 6, yes count them, 6 new songs recorded leading into the New Year! This is on top of the 4 tracks recorded earlier in 2020 and 2021, with enough material for 3 new EPs! Things have been tough amid the pandemic and Dr. Wes has been staying busy on the medical side. But music is balm for the soul especially at a time like this, and he and Kant's Konundrum are excited to bring you some great, innovative, and upbeat new music that's still consistent with their 90s grunge and alt rock roots.

Massive thanks from Dr. Wes to everyone who attended the Open Mic on the Potomac last week. We know the weather's starting to get a bit nippy and COVID-19 is still a-raging, so it was a blast to catch up with you fans out there and add a little music to your day. Thanks also for your feedback with the band's latest song forays, we're doing a major jam session and songwriting series next month, and your comments will be doing a lot to shape the final form of the tracks.

The Covid-19 pandemic may still be a-raging, but the music is still a-playing! Dr. Wes and Kant's Konundrum have still been busy songwriting and outdoor performing even given the limitations and constraints on live events. Here, Dr. Wes is posing afterr an impromptu outdoor rendition of the band's smash hit from their 1st EP, A Hustler's Tale, with it's still record holding music video awarded awarded with 11 prizes on the music and film festival circuit! (link in bio) You can find the original on Spotify, YouTube, AppleMusic, Napster, Audiomack, iTunes, Amazon, and other sources, but a little announcement to herald many more: The band has recently remixed the track and is in the process of preparing it for a re-release, so stay tuned!

Dr. Wes has recently taped another series of his one minute exam pearls, the innovative, popular, and fast-growing educational series of compact, high-yield test-prep lessons packed into 60 seconds for Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. For all you #KantKon and other music fans, fear not, Dr. Wes is still very much engaged as a songwriter and musician, assembling new songs just like before. The one-minute exam pearls series is simply a nice complement to the music with the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down so many musical events for a while. and it's helped to spread the band's audience more globally. The two will be advancing in tandem. Just zn FYI to you out there, if you have any requests for lessons that you'd like Wes to record, feel free to post them up here or on any other social media, the recordings mostly begin on TikTok but will be shared on other media as well. Lots of exciting stuff coming soon as we all, hopefully, gradually emerge from the dark shadow of this persistent plague year we've been under for what seems like an eternity already. . . . #educationalservices #teaching #examprep #testprep #exampearls #teachjng #usefulsubjects #highyield #drwes #learningisfun #funlearning #coollearning #creativelessons #oneminutelessons #60secondlessons #60secondlesson #1minutelesson #oneminuteexampearls #drwesoneminuteexampearls #instagramteacher #tiktokteacher #snapchatteacher (at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPb3DBrDWKW/?utm_medium=tumblr

We've got a media blitz upcoming everyone! Doctor Wes and the Kant's Konundrum band have been on a roll, even with all the ongoing limitations of the pandemic. A little impromptu openmic recently on the Potomac River, and a whole flurry of news articles and new press on deck for release. It's part of the lead in for a re release of the 1st EP with fresh high fidelity song remasterings, and for the songs on our upcoming 2nd EP. We know it's been rough for just about everyone for what seems like forever, but music never dies, as we're excited to bring to you again soon!

Dr. Wes's new COVID culture tip: if you gotta mask up anyway, might as well look a little gangsta doing it. We got to do a little a capella impromptu of A Hustler's Tale from our debut EP recently over at Gravelly Point while traveling through DC. It's normally not the best place to do anything musically so close to the airport, but the skies were eerily quiet due to all the flight groundings, so we had a couple musical acts jamming around the park. Even with all the dread news recently about SXSW and practically every other music festival again cancelled this year, we still keep doing little performances and socially distanced events whether we can. A nice little reminder, if nothing else, that music never truly dies, even in a once in a century pandemic. More updates on our 2nd EP coming soon. .

We've fully remastered the first song on our soon-to-be re-released blockbuster debut EP, Tales of a Wandering Soul! That's right, our award-winning "Hustler's Tale" song has now been remastered in a high-fidelity new WAV format for all you Kant's Konundrum fans and followers out there, and we'll be re-releasing the entirety of our first EP as a succession of sweet-sounding singles on Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, and other music distributors. We know it's been a rough year without a whole lot in the way of live performances or concerts, but rest assured we're doing everything we can in this brave new musical world to get our music out to all of you. Stay safe and stay strong.
