From getting the Korn gig, to forming Rock To Recovery®, a nonprofit that uses the healing power of music to uplift those in recovery, meditation has been part of everything amazing in Wesley Geer's life.

His music has been featured in many feature films, video games, radio, and television shows.Wes also has long had a passion for teaching music. Previously a music teacher at The Fusion Academy's Huntington Beach campus, Wes taught Recording Arts, Drums, and Guitar.“I've always had a desire to teach and help people through music. It was while teaching at Fusion Academy, that I really realized the level of engagement the students would have when we were ‘writing a song' together, and then record it! It gave such a greater sense of purpose to our music. and a greater connection between us.But it was when I was in treatment that I realized how much music could help [me] get through those tough emotions that run so rampant, especially in the early days. Being totally sober and dealing with the bottom I had hit -strumming the guitar was the only thing that would bring me peace. Everyone would wait in line for their turn to play, even people who had never played guitar.These ingredients really helped me realize this combination had the potential to be a powerful tool within the recovery community. When I looked around, music seemed to be missing from the treatment curriculum. It became my dream to create a music program that could help all those in need.". . .

Wesley Geer is a professional guitar player, songwriter, recording artist, and producer, who signed his first record deal to Jive Records with the band he founded, (Hed) P.E.. Wes toured the world for nearly a decade, and the band sold over 1 million records worldwide. He also lived a rock star's lifestyle with full blown addiction and self- destructive behavior. After a long pause from music Wes got sober and found his path to service in teaching music and eventually joining Korn in 2010. After touring the world several times over Geer was then moved to give back, wanting to create something that could help people who struggled the same way he had. He then founded Rock to Recovery (R2R), a non-profit organization created in late 2012 with the purpose of providing those in various types of treatment and recovery programs the cathartic, uplifting, healing experience of connectivity through music.

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. R2R works with veterans, the youth and those working to overcome all forms of addictions, disorders and a variety of mental health issues. Plus, their program extends internationally through the Air Force “Wounded Warrior” program. R2R holds approximately 500 sessions a month writing and recording original songs on the spot to promote happy, healthy brain chemistry. Let’s see if we can get this episode to “go to 11.” This is…”FULLY ALIVE.”

Wesley Geer is a professional guitar player, songwriter, recording artist, and producer, who signed his first record deal to Jive Records with the band he founded, (Hed) P.E.  Wes toured the world for nearly a decade, and the band sold over 1 million records worldwide.   Their music was on high rotation on MTV, radio stations, as well as having numerous placements in popular feature films, TV and video games.  What many didn't know at the time was while he was masterminding, and leading his band to the member's first-ever record deal, Wes was a full-blown drug addict, using alcohol, methamphetamines and other drugs, daily, for years.   As a progressive disease, no matter the efforts to quell his addiction and control it, things continually got worse.   After a nearly a decade of touring the world, with the biggest names in rock, Wes' life was imploding, and he finally left in 2003, for a ‘lifestyle change' that ultimately ended him up in rehab in 2004. In rehab, he learned tools for recovery and latched onto the stories of others that had overcome their addictions, stories of people being so far down in a deadly hole, but somehow not only got sober but achieved great things.  “These stories of hope were the guiding force that leads me out. These people had a tangible program of recovery proven to work, so I gave it a shot.”  The following years found Wes as an instructor at Fusion Academy & Learning Center, an alternative school where he taught music to 6th through 12th graders who had struggled in more traditional academic settings.  These same troubled students often succeeded in Fusion's adaptive one-on-one learning environment.  Geer's love of teaching blossomed during his time.  His classes served as the earliest prototype for R2R; he and one student at a time would write and play songs together. Geer said he quickly noticed “the engagement and the buy-in” the students had in these sessions was much greater than a typical ‘lesson' as the student's energy was transformed with hope and self-esteem while songwriting and playing music together.   In 2010, Wes decided he wanted to get back into music and started praying and meditating on what that would look like.  Not long after, and only because he was sober, Geer was offered the gig as a guitarist with the legendary rock band Korn.  He traveled the world performing in more than 40 countries with the multi-platinum stars, as well as appeared numerous live televised and studio recording sessions.   Geer was moved to give back, wanting to create something that could help people who struggled the same way he had.  He founded Rock to Recovery (R2R), a non-profit organization created in late 2012 with the purpose of providing those in various types of treatment and recovery programs the cathartic, uplifting, healing experience of connectivity through playing music.  It's a therapy Geer himself turned to after years of abusing drugs and alcohol. During his stay in rehab, he admits that music was his “most intimate friend” during his darkest days, allowing him to cope with the rollercoaster of emotions that consumed his early days in treatment.  “I remember being so raw, newly sober.  I picked up my guitar and I just started strumming, and that simple act of strumming a few chords had an impact on me like never before. The whole milieu would write these silly songs and we'd forget everything, and even the darkest, shy personalities would start singing and dancing.  That always stuck with me.” Rock to Recovery, with Geer and his staff of 9 fellow sober musicians now partner with over 100 treatment programs across LA, Orange, and San Diego counties, providing more nearly 450+ sessions each month to people struggling with addiction, mental health, eating disorders, at–risk youth, and Wounded Warriors.  

Wesley Geer has been a professional musician for over 20 years. He first found success as the founding member of Jive Records artist Hed P.E. as a guitarist, songwriter and producer. After touring the world for eight years, Wes left the band for a lifestyle change and ultimately landed in rehab. Then in 2010, at almost three years sober, he was approached to play with the legendary band Korn. He joined Korn and worked with them as their touring guitarist for the next several years, traveling to 42 countries, headlining shows, and appearing on a number of recordings, cable and TV shows. In 2012, Wes founded Rock to Recovery in an effort to bring a new and unique type of group music expression into treatment centers -by forming a band! The program is designed so that ‘non-musicians' can access the magic, healing, and uplifting powers of writing and playing music.

Guest: Wesley Geer, Korn guitarist Today's guest is Wesley Geer, musician and founder of the music therapy non-profit Rock to Recovery. After getting sober and leaving the band lifestyle behind, he found an outlet for his creativity and his desire to help others by bringing the healing power of songwriting and musical expression to treatment centers across California. He sat down with me at the Innovations in Recovery conference in San Diego to share how he sees music change people's lives first-hand and to introduce us to their concert series, which honors famous musicians in recovery and proves that rock 'n' roll and alcohol don't have to go hand in hand.
