10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!

With slightly more than 50 years as a professional musician he has more accumulated bio than can usually be contained in a few paragraphs. Lately however Wes Mackey has been flying under the radar . For those who know Wes, he is usually a person in perpetual motion, working gigs both at home in Vancouver BC and abroad where he toured Europe earlier this year.
While he’s usually awash in projects he has been quietly working on his new album Life is a Journey. “This one has taken a little longer. I think working with (critically acclaimed hip hop artist) Cityreal has changed my perspective and I tried a lot of thing on this album that I would not have in the past. I don’t want to say fusion because it is definitely blues, but it is different and I am pretty happy with it. Also there are 15 tracks and most of them are original written with my partner Laura Fisher so that take some time too.”
His career began in the US Deep South where he was born in raised and where the blues and gospel were a part of the tradition. His first guitar had 3 strings but he eventually left home and moved to Augusta Georgia where he began learning his craft from the older bluesmen who had taken him under their wings. His first job paid 50 cents and a chicken sandwich but in time he moved on to become a sideman for an an impressive list of touring artists including the great blues stars of the era including Muddy Waters. John Lee Hooker Jimmy Reed, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and countless others. Mackey soon landed a regular gig with The Earl Lett International Soul Set and hit the road. For years he played in endless cities and towns and finally landed in Canada where he's been ever since.
Afflicted by a troublesome stutter Mackey never had dreams of becoming a solo artist but had to make a living and began a solo career. He searched for both his personal and musical identity and on a whim released his first blues album Second Chance never realising it was really was and also a major turning point.
Finally gaining some recognition he began touring Europe where he has grown steadily in popularity.
Since then Mackey has released 3 other albums ( Mr. Blues, Beyond Words, Life is a Journey)
