Band Bio: The son of a blues record-collecting father and a gospel-singing mother, Flint, Michigan native Rusty Wright has spent most of his life on the road and in the recording studio honing his singular take on improvisation-laden blues rock.Wright is a masterful lyric storyteller and guitarist. This Billboard Top 5 artist's sound is a hot-rod fusing of Texas-style blues; driving boogie and Southern guitar rock paired with a sense of humor and keen songwriting skills. Wright’s sound assimilates everything from hints of early prog-rock (i.e. interesting musical ‘left turns’) to the intricate harmonies of the Allman Brothers along with the passion and flamboyance of SRV, to the right-in-the-pocket grooves of Chicago guitarist Hubert Sumlin and Freddy King, AKA “The Texas Cannonball”. This ain’t your granddad’s blues. Call it contemporary blues, call it blues rock, southern rock, driving boogie, blues-infused rock… It’s all that, just not all at the same time. Call it whatever you want. As Rusty likes to say “It doesn’t matter what you call it. If it sounds good, it IS good.”
