Wes Berggren

Wes Berggren (April 3, 1971 - 27 October 1999 cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1434958/19991029/tripping_daisy.jhtml |title=Tripping Daisy's Wes Berggren Found Dead At Dallas Home |accessdate=2008-04-10|work=MTV] ) was an American musician and former guitarist for the rock band Tripping Daisy.

Berggren was found dead of an apparent heart attack in his apartment on October 27, 1999. Although never officially stated, rumors have circulated that his death was due to a drug overdose. With Berggren's death, the band cancelled its upcoming tour dates and finished some minor recording sessions for the final album. The self-titled album was released posthumously, with Berggren's father Don playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano on the unfinished song "Soothing Jubilee". The album included a re-recording of "One Through Four", a song originally featured on Bill.

Tripping Daisy officially disbanded on December 14, 1999. Tim Delaughter, the singer and founding member, went on to form the Polyphonic Spree, which also features former Tripping Daisy members Mark Pirro and Bryan Wakeland.
