Tom Wright: A Young Musician With A Great Future!
From an early
age, Tom was brought up on rockabilly and country music from both of his
parents, going to see bands as often as he could, along with watching his dad's
band.
At 7
years old, his dad bought him his first guitar, a 3/4 size acoustic, and taught
him a few chords. He eventually played it so much, he had worn a hole through
the guitar body! He then progressed to get an electric guitar, and started
listening to guitarists such as Albert Lee, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brad Paisley
and Keith Urban, trying to emulate their tone, licks and phrasing.
By 14,
he was already travelling up and down the country, playing professionally with
shows like the Johnny Cash Story, a tribute to Lonnie Donegan, and an original
country band called Midwezt.
At 17,
he joined the Elio Pace band, of which had been BBC Radio 2's house band for
the previous 2 years. He is still playing for Elio, and they are currently
touring all around the UK performing the music of Billy Joel, in The Billy Joel
Songbook.
Tom also
fronts his own band and his first solo album is due for release on June 29th.
