Never known for doing things at half measure, 496 West celebrates their 10th music anniversary this summer! Based in Lansing, Michigan, and formed by guitarist Charlie Wilson, 496 West offers soul, smooth jazz, R&B, a sprinkling of the blues, and of course gospel jazz styles. Delivering original songs and re-imagined covers, 496 West provides a full live music experience and rich production.
The band has opened for stalwarts like guitarist Nick Colionne, Grammy-nominee Gerald Albright, the legendary Kirk Whalum (Grammy Award Winner), saxman Euge Groove, flutist Alexander Zonjic, smooth jazz guitarist Tim Bowman and international Grammy-nominated keyboardist, Bob Baldwin. Their newest CD, Key Change, was released in 2018.
