Episode 6. Music is Medicine (w/Wes Geer)

Fully Alive

On the show today I welcome Wesley Geer. Wes is best known as the founding member of Hed P.E and touring guitarist for the legendary band, Korn. He’s traveled to 42 countries and played in front of crowds of 80,000. However, it’s his current endeavor that really struck a “chord “with me. On 12/12/12, Wes created “Rock to Recovery” using Music as Medicine. After hitting rock bottom himself and getting sober, Wes had a vision to transform lives through the powerful, healing, consoling experience of music.
