Brian Wright (www.brianwrightsongs.com) was born and raised in Texas, but spent his first few years of life traveling in a VW bus, living in motel 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, an 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 Paczosa, who also serves as A&R for Sugar Hill Records. Paczosa 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 five 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.

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, Wright co-owns Cafe Rooster Records, a two year-old independent East Nashville record label.

In 2016, Wright released, The SneakUps, a compilation of his more rock n roll, never released recordings, once again where he played most of the instruments himself; and Cafe Rooster Sessions, Vol. 1, followed up in 2017 with Cafe Rooster Sessions Vol. 2, a compilation produced by Wright. He is currently putting the finishing touches on a new album due for release in early 2019
