Wesley Bright and The Hi-Lites

The first thing you notice about a Wesley Bright & the Hi-Lites show is the dancing. This crowd is moving. They're doing the watusi, the mashed potato, the twist and then some. Young, old, white, black, dressed in jeans and dressed in suits, pumps and pearls, they're moving.

Then your eyes are drawn to the man on stage, Wesley Bright himself, a honey-voiced frontman who's got the pipes and the moves to keep the crowd going all night.

Then, of course, the band: a seven-piece Northern Soul group with a horn section straight out of the 1960s. Like Bright, they're clad in sharp suits.

Wesley Bright & the Hi-Lites, you see, are no typical Northeast Ohio band circa 2013. And a Wesley Bright and the Hi-Lites show is no ordinary gig. read more
