    ..........          ...... .... ..............Click here to download some of Brendon's Songs............By 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. .. ..........   .. ....  ....My Friends Space.... ..   .. .. ....  ....The Guys & Gals.... ..   .. .... ..Steve Earle.. ..    ........              ........ ..Darrell Scott.. ..    ........              ........ ..Chris Knight.. ..    ........              ........ ..Old Crow Medicine Show.. ..    ........              ............ ..Son Volt.. ..    ........              ........ ..Doc Watson.. ..    ........              ........ ..Hank III.. ..    ........              ........ ..Mountain Soul.. ..    ........              ............ ..Scott Miller & The Commonwealth.. ..    ........              ........ ..Slaid Cleaves.. ..    ........              ........ ..The Cornbred Blues Band.. ..    .....net/00703/86/99/703869968_s.jpg">....              ........ ..Laura Lynn.. ..    ...."http://myspace-616.vo.llnwd.net/00457/61/69/457219616_s.jpg">....              ............ ..Scott Medwetz.. ..    ........              ........ ..Medford..............'s Black Record Collection.. ..    ........              ........ ..independent recorders.. ..    ........              ........ ..Junior Brown.. ..    ........              ............   ..               ..View All of My Friends ..

    That was a fine show at The Shed; that's your kind of venue. People on either side of me had come to see Ray Wylie, and were from SC and GA; all of them were impressed by you and your "heavy Americana". The Shed's sound is great; much, much better than Sundown. Enjoy the catfight?

    Hey guys! Once again, and I cannot stress it enough, you guys ROCK!!! I'm having trouble finding you on Facebook though. I searched for new friends using "Brendon James Wright & the Wrongs" as well as "Brendon James Wright" so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

    Another fine show (as usual and as expected) at Barley's Sat night. Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of you this summer!

    There's lots more pics in my profile MyPics and Photobucket, folder Barley's_2009.

    Here's two pics from your opening for REK. I now see that you get to open for Ray Wylie Hubbard (he is so cool) at The Shed.
    Way to go, Brendon!
