An intelligent and thoughtful songwriter, Brian Wright was born in Mclennan County, Texas, near the highway and the trains, as he recalls it, perhaps explaining why he feels so at home on the road. Wright spent his twenties playing the Austin/Dallas bar circuit, eventually moving west to Los Angeles, becoming a fixture in that music scene, as well, with his band, Brian Wright & the Waco Tragedies. After releasing two albums, Bluebird and Dog Ears, Wright broke through to the critics with his third, House on Fire, which appeared in 2011, and followed it with the equally impressive Rattle Their Chain two years later. ~ Steve Leggett
