Meet Gregg Wright . . . master guitarist and musician, who strings his guitar
"normal" right-hand fashion, but plays left-handed upside down ( that is . . .
with his high E string on the top!), awesomely! Firmly schooled in the Blues
Masters of the past yet confidently moving ahead, he takes you on a soaring
whirlwind of musical / guitar expertise. Watch, listen, and be one of the many
converts!
This fantastic American guitarist boldly transforms his guitar into a sonic palette
of emotions, colours and pure sound, as is clearly demonstrated on his new
"millennium blues" CD, "Lightning Strike!!!" He's a player's player, a highly skilled
composer and record producer, possessing a soulful expressive singing voice. An
electrifying live performer, Gregg once nearly upstaged Michael Jackson during a
show, when he served as Jackson's lead guitarist. Certainly, no easy feat!
Gregg began his professional career on the U.S. Southern circuit, opening for
Blues legends, such as Albert King and Freddie King, receiving firsthand
knowledge and encouragement from both elder Bluesmen. Now one of America's
elite guitarist / session men, he's featured soloist on the soundtrack of the new
Giant-Screen IMAX film, Ocean Oasis, with the Prague Philharmonic. Gregg's
won awards, he's recorded albums and toured with such great artists as,
Mick Fleetwood, Michael Jackson, the Gap Band, Spencer Davis, and many more.
Rarified company indeed, yet, none of this gives a hint of his true musical
power and magic!
Now...... with guitar, voice, and a new CD, Gregg Wright is set to take centerstage
of the New Millenium's musical frontier, with his very special and personal
musical vision.
Welcome... to the Blues in the 21st Century!
