Click here to download some of Brendon's SongsBy Ellen Mallarney, staff writer for the Metro Pulse: Brendon James Wright wears a Bass Pro Shop hat, an easy, swaggering smile and a scrappy beard. From the looks of it, he's just parked his lawnmower, downed a bottle of beer, and mopped his mouth with the back of his hand. But Wright's demo album, culled largely from a recent recording of his stint on WDVX's Blue Plate Special, attests to his clout as both a singer and a songwriter. His scratchy, sore-throat songs about coal miners, hard-luck prisoners and lovers separated by many miles are twangy and heartfelt. Wright mixes his Southern roots with his esteem for artists like Ryan Adams and Bob Dylan.A kind and authentic guy, most every night Wright lets some beer-bereaved fellow take his spot on stage while he's on break. And he doesn't hesitate to ditch his meatier songs for a number about making snow angels with his sister. Having played professionally around town for three years now, Wright spends 200 nights a year at regional venues and local hotspots with a guitar strapped dutifully over a shoulder. Wright's songs pop with stick-to-your-ribs sentiments. He's a skilled guitar player, armed with his wailing harmonica and a lyrical dexterity unheard of in someone waiting for a record deal.Log on to brendonjameswright.com for more information.
