Born and raised in New York, Louis Wright began his musical journey at age nine playing percussion in neighborhood bands. By age eleven after being mesmerized by the super smooth sounds of guitarist Wes Montgomery, he developed a deep passion for the guitar. Ten years later Lou auditioned and was selected as the guitarist for the popular PolyGram recording group, The Fatback Band. This allowed Lou to tour the US and Europe for a year, and perform on venues with artists such as Earth Wind and Fire, Chaka Khan, Smokey Robinson, just to name a few. Lou went on to be a band leader, writer, producer and to record for other artists. Lou has produced three CD’s of his own. Performing all the instruments, vocals, programming and engineering himself, he gives God the glory always!
Lou now resides in the state of Delaware and performs mainly in the states between New York and Virginia. With over thirty years experience, his one man band performances have been getting rave revues.

Mr. Louis Wright is a very talented musician. He played for a birthday party event we planned for my mother. He was there early set up. This guy is the real deal! I requested a couple of songs and he played them effortlessly. My mother was so impressed and so were the other guests. Wow, that’s all I can say. If you are thinking about booking him, do so early as the word will get out on this talented man. He will not disappoint. ---- Marsha W, Philadelphia, PA
