About

A southern rascal lost in the heart of Chicago started ruminating on what music might mean to him, five, ten, fifteen years down the road. How might sounds of the past circle back around? The answers lay hidden in the songs. A recent Merlefest Songwriting Competition finalist, Wright Gatewood is currently supporting his new EP vol. 1: the city, the first in his Wayward Triptych series. With an emotional palette that plays with your heart strings, Wright strives to bring ideals of the helpless wanderers, the rapscallions of yesteryear, and the dreamers of tomorrow to your ears as he pieces the parts together.
