NEWS RELEASE
\nJEFFREY WRIGHT
\n*************************
\nNorthern Ontario\u2019s own multi-disciplinary artist and country musician, Jeffrey Wright, is taking a major leap forward in his recording career.<\/p>\n
The Sault Ste. Marie native has stepped into the studio at Clarksville Creative Sound in Montreal, Quebec, to record a series of new songs under the direction of multi-award-winning Nashville producer, songwriter, and musician Curt Ryle.<\/p>\n
The collaboration marks an exciting new chapter for Wright, whose story-driven country sound heavily reflects the classic, traditional country roots he has championed for years.<\/p>\n
A Lifelong Passion for the Craft<\/p>\n
For\u00a0Wright, music is far more than a career\u2014it is a lifelong calling. Falling in love with the genre after discovering the iconic sounds of country legends as a teenager, Wright has spent decades honing his craft as a singer, songwriter, and performer.<\/p>\n
He has mastered the timeless catalogues of staples like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, John Denver, and Willie Nelson, channelling their authentic, narrative styles into his own original work and acclaimed theatrical tribute shows.<\/p>\n
“People love this music, and keeping it alive for the generations coming up is a huge interest of mine,” Wright has noted of his artistic mission. That deep-seated passion is what ultimately drew the attention of Curt Ryle, a seasoned Nashville veteran who has worked alongside country music royalty such as George Jones and Mel Tillis.<\/p>\n
Hometown Pride and Family Foundations<\/p>\n
Despite heading to world-class studio spaces to track his latest material, Wright remains fiercely proud of his Canadian roots and the vibrant Sault Ste. Marie music scene. He has long been an active force in building up the local creative ecosystem, frequently collaborating with regional musicians to bring high-calibre\u00a0live entertainment to Northern Ontario communities.<\/p>\n
Behind Wright\u2019s growing success is a rock-solid foundation of family support. His biggest champions remain his wife, Laura Wright, and their two children, who stand firmly behind his artistic pursuits.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, building the business side of Jeffrey Wright Music has truly been a family affair. His manager, George Wright, has put in immense hard work to establish the brand, organizing logistics and handling the business development that has allowed Wright to transition his creative passion into a booming enterprise.<\/p>\n
