Brian Wright was born and raised in Texas, but spent his first few years of life traveling in a green VW bus, living in hotel rooms while his father, a Vietnam Vet, worked as a pipeline surveyor before they settled in Lorena, TX, a farming community just south of Waco. In 2002, barely out of high school, Wright moved to Los Angeles where for many years he became one of the more revered centerpieces of the famous Hotel Cafe music scene in Hollywood - a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and band leader of The Waco Tragedies, a seven, sometimes eight-piece band of some of Hollywood’s finest musicians and harmonizers. During that time, Wright made two albums, Dog Ears and Bluebird, with this band and began a touring career in the US, Europe and South America, creating a buzz around Wright’s depth of songs and musicality. In 2010, he holed up in a Laurel Canyon studio and created along with co-producer, Mike Vizcarra, his third critically acclaimed album, House on Fire. Wright played nearly every instrument, and the album caught the attention of Grammy award-winning producer and engineer, Gary Pacosza, who also serves as A&R for Sugar Hill Records. Pacosza signed Wright, which was followed by a publishing deal with BMG/Chrysalis. Sugar Hill released House on Fire, and as Wright spent a great deal of time on the road sharing the stage with the Milk Carton Kids, Joe Purdy and LeeAnn Womack he quickly followed up House on Fire with Rattle Their Chains. Just before the release of Rattle Their Chains, Wright moved to Nashville and was quickly welcomed into the thriving East Nashville music scene, where he has since been showcased the last four years at the Americana Festival, appeared on Music City Roots, written songs with Guy Clark, played and collaborated with the scene’s top players and songwriters like his most recent spot as electric guitar player for New West recording artist, Aaron Lee Tasjan, that has sent them on the road playing shows with John Moreland, The Felice Brothers, Lydia Loveless, the Cayamo cruise, San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in October 2017, and other exciting shows not announced yet. In addition, Wright pieced together his own recording studio in a backyard shed, where a new chapter of songs and collaborations has been born. Now after expanding the studio and joining forces with artists Darrin Bradbury and Sally Jaye, Wright runs Cafe Rooster Records, a new independent East Nashville record label that is owned and operated solely by the artists and the recent additions of producer/engineer, Gabe Masterson and music video director, Shawn Michael Foster. Only months old, the label is home for the recent release of Ladies Gun Club’s first full length album, Take My Love Away, Darrin Bradbury’s September release, Elmwood Park: A Slightly Melodic Audiobook, Jon Latham’s upcoming summer album, Lifers, and Wright’s latest release, The SneakUps, which is a compilation of his more rock n roll, never released recordings, once again where he played most of the instruments himself. Wright is currently recording his upcoming full-length album when not out on the road with Aaron Lee Tasjan.
