DESCRIPTION:
“In the Garden (Bob Dylan ‘Saved’ Version)” leans into a rock feel, driven by a drum groove and the steady pulse of a Wurlitzer electric piano. The track moves through a series of simple, pointed questions, reflecting on how deeply misunderstood Jesus was by both followers and critics. It draws a quiet parallel to the present, asking whether much has really changed. Weston highlights the tension between rejecting power and spectacle, yet still carrying undeniable authority in the way he lives.
Weston Skaggs describes his music as “experimental-folk-gospel-storytelling,” a sound that moves freely between eras—nodding to 1940s crooners one moment, 1970s Laurel Canyon songwriters the next, and 2010s indie rock after that. What anchors it all is his voice: warm, earnest, and marked by a clear falsetto and vibrato. Based in Northeast Ohio, Weston serves as a worship and youth pastor while working on his eighth studio album and a 2026 tour.
